"Well, if it's 'hard,' then nevermind," Ann Coulter tweeted sarcastically. | Getty

Ann Coulter revealed her sense of disgust with Donald Trump's latest comments on immigration in which he suggested an openness to changing his hard-line stance on illegal immigration.

Speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity in a town hall event broadcast Wednesday night, Trump floated multiple ideas for the audience's reaction, including one in which undocumented immigrants would pay "back taxes" but added, "there's no amnesty, but we work with them." Trump recounted meeting with "very strong people" who have told him "it's so tough" to throw out people who have been in the country for 15 to 20 years.

"It's a very, very hard thing," Trump conceded.

In a series of tweets late Wednesday and early Thursday, Coulter offered her thoughts, suggesting that Trump's latest remarks showed an openness to the same immigration platforms championed by his GOP primary rivals.

"Well, if it's 'hard,' then nevermind," Coulter tweeted sarcastically in response to that comment.

Coulter then retweeted an image of Trump's signature Make America Great Again hat with the words "THEY WILL PAY BACK TAXES."

In her final tweet of the night, Coulter retweeted a post "Muslim [collecting] 4 years of welfare in Maine while becoming radicalized & joined ISIS!"

"It's 'hard' to deport someone who's been here FOUR YEARS!" Coulter wrote.

The conservative commentator, in the midst of a book tour for "In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!" that included a launch party hosted by Breitbart News on Wednesday night, threatened earlier this week to abandon her efforts if Trump is softening his stance on immigration.

AnnCoulters new book was just released and has likely already been rendered irrelevant before hitting most bookshelves nationwide.

In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!,is, no surprise, a full-throated endorsement of Trump, who the controversial conservative commentator says is the countrys last hope to preserve its culture and save the (white) working class.

In the book, Coulter, a longtime Trump booster, writes that theres nothing Trump can do that wont be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies.

But now that Trumpis finally revving up his long-awaited pivot to do just that, Coulter is freaking out.

With Trumps first hints of an evolution on his immigration positions, Coulter was quick to cover for him.

Its just rhetoric but its still annoying, Coulter told The Hill at her book signing Wednesdaynight. I think he panicked and he had to say [it] I dont think he is softening. I mean the big thing is the wall.

But then the second part of Trumps Fox News town hall special on immigration with Sean Hannity aired. In front of a friendly Texas crowd,Trump floated a possible process to allow undocumented immigrants to remain in America, a complete reversal from the inhumane mass deportation plan that helped him win the crowded GOP primary.

No citizenship, Trump told Hannity in the specialtaped Tuesday afternoon. Let me go a step further theyll pay back-taxes, they have to pay taxes, theres no amnesty, as such, theres no amnesty, but we work with them.

And has become customary, Trump attempted to sell his latest flip-flop as a routine reaction to his supporters wants.

Look, this is like a poll, theres thousands of people in this room, Trump said. Who wants those people thrown out?

The Fox News crowd responded with incoherent cheers and yells.

Everywhere I go, I get the same reaction. They want toughness, they want firmness, they want to obey the law. But but, they feel that throwing them out as a whole family when theyve been here for a long time, its a tough thing. They do feel that, Trump added.

That was the last straw for Coulter, who took to Twitter to blast Trumps creeping shift:

Welp.

Ann Coulter flips out over Trumps immigration flip-flop as ...

Conservative author and Donald Trump supporter Ann Coulter isn't giving up on her candidate yet, even as he appears to be shifting on an issue most dear to her.

Trump is now open to possibly "softening" his hardline stance on illegal immigration, and the candidate said Wednesday night on Fox News that he would consider letting many illegal immigrants remain in the country, instead of deporting them all.

Immigration has been a cornerstone of Trump's campaign since its launch last year, starting with his promise to "build a wall" on the Mexican border and deport all illegal immigrants.

In an interview earlier that same day with the Washington Examiner, Coulter, whose own stance on immigration inspired Trump's controversial views on it, said it's not worrying her.

"It mostly worries me rhetorically ... I mean, what to do with the illegals already here was never really a big part of it," she said. "We're getting a wall. We're definitely getting a wall. That's the one thing we know about a Trump presidency."

Coulter, author of the new book In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, said Trump still offers more than any of the other Republicans had.

"I don't think it is a change in policy," she said of Trump. "The policy is anyone who's here illegally is here illegally, does not have the right to be here. We'll decide whether it's in our interest to let them stay or not. Perhaps it is in our interest to let some of them stay."

Donald Trump mocks New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski during a campaign rally on Nov. 24, 2015. [Media Matters]

Even if Ann Coulters feelings are hurt over his recent softening on immigration, she had no problem justifying the Republican presidential candidates mockery of reporter Serge Kovaleski, Jezebel reported.

Coulter, who has been backing Trump throughout his run for the GOP nomination, weighed in on Trumps denigrating remarks toward Kovaleski in her new book.

He doesnt jerk around or flail his arms. Hes not r*tarded. He sits calmly, but if you look at his wrists, youll see they are curved in, Coulter wrote. Thats not the imitation Trump was doinghe was doing a standard r*tard, waving his arms and sounding stupid: Ahhh, I dont know what I saidahhh, I dont remember! Hes going, Ahhh, I dont remember, maybe thats what I said!'

Kovaleski lives with arthrogryposis, which causes his joints to contract and his hand to rest at unusual angles. Trump made the remarks during a campaign rally last November to defend his claim that thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

The remark was quickly turned into fodder for campaign ads on behalf of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, including one that ran during the Democratic National Convention last month.

But Coulter dismissed the issue, calling the chapter in the book regarding Kovaleski, Disabled Reporter Joins Media Effort to Create More Disabled Americans.

The books publication has been sidetracked somewhat by Coulters angry reaction to Trump backing off of his anti-immigrant rhetoric more recently, which caused her to huff online that he was considering amnesty.

Ann Coulter slammed Ted Cruz late last week in an interview promoting her new book, refusing to say whether she would support the Texas senator when he is up for reelection in 2018.

It probably wont really matter, Coulter told Business Insider while on a book tour for her latest offering, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome.

I tend not to get involved in primaries, addedthe conservative firebrand, one of Donald Trump's fiercest supporters, when asked twice on whether she would support Cruz's reelection bid.

Coulter laced into Cruz throughout the interview, calling the former Republican presidential candidate a little wild sometimes and arguing he was a kind of tedious nails on a blackboard speaker.

At one point or another, everybody would kind of get a queasy feeling, the 11-time New York Times bestselling author said of Cruz.

"This idea that hes kind of an opportunist, and maybe he was going with the Bush team, remember he worked on Bushs first election," she added, referring to former President George W. Bush. "And then he gets shunted out of the White House into, what was it, the Federal Trade Commission. People just he seems to have kind of a grating personalty.

Coulter said that Cruz perhaps did the outsider role a bit too much.

I mean, you can fight for your principles without being the most hated member of the United States Senate, he said. And he was not telling the truth. There was a reason Donald Trump called him Lyin Ted. Now, he was at least smart enough unlike the rest of them, to imitate Trumps positions.

But he was born in Canada, not a natural born citizen, cant be president.

The final straw with Cruz came when he delivered his utterly self-indulgent speech at the Republican National Convention, Coulter said.

I mean, dont give a speech if youre not going to endorse the candidate, she said. Were a party and this has been happening throughout Trumps campaign. He keeps extending the olive branch. He keeps trying to play fair with the RNC and the party. He takes the pledge.

Coulter has found herself in a bit of an awkward position this week, as Trump has considerably softened his immigration stance the one thing she said could cause her to retract her support.
