Ann Coulter: Trump by the Numbers – breitbart.com

After he signed histhirdspending bill with no wall funding, which he claims to need, all sentient beings were forced to conclude that the president has no intention of ever doing anything we wanted on immigration.

In fact, Trump is steadily moving in the precise opposite direction of what he promised.

Illegal immigration is on track to hit the highest levels in more than a decade, and Trump has willfully decided to keep amnesty advocates Jared, Ivanka, Mick Mulvaney, Marc Short, and Mercedes Schlapp in the White House. For all his talk about immigration, did he ever consider hiring people who share his MAGA vision?

A (diminishing) percentage of the base is annoyed when I point this out. They think that the moment something comes out of Trumps mouth, IT HAS HAPPENED.

Yes, Trump talks a good game. Hes like a waiter who compliments us for ordering the hamburger, but keeps bringing us fish.The hamburger is our signature dish, juicy and grilled to perfection, youve made a brilliant choice now heres your salmon.

If he refuses to do what we hired him to do, hes not getting a good Yelp review.

Ive decided to discuss the Trump presidency in purely mathematical terms.Its not his fault! Hes trying! Never has a president been under such attack! these are more in the nature of excuses, not facts.

Under my new approach, I will provide a numerical evaluation of the Trump presidency, which I call:

TRUMP BY THE NUMBERS!

No editorializing, no invective, no opinion.

** ** **

NUMBER OF MILES OF WALL BUILT ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER SINCE TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESIDENT:

ZERO.

** ** **

NUMBER OF MILES OF FENCE, BOLLARD, OR GARDEN TRELLIS BUILT ALONG OUR 2,000-MILE BORDER SINCE TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESIDENT:

26.

** ** **

NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP HAS CLAIMED ON TWITTER HES ALREADY BUILDING THE WALL:

16 BY MY COUNT.

** ** **

NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP HAS COMPLAINED ON TWITTER THAT CONGRESS WONT GIVE HIM FUNDS TO BUILD THE WALL THAT HE SAYS HES ALREADY BUILDING:

AT LEAST 30 BY MY COUNT.

** ** **

NUMBER OF WALL PROTOTYPES DESTROYED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:

ALL OF THEM.

** ** **

NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ENDING THE ANCHOR BABY SCAM AS TRUMP PROMISES WHENEVER AN ELECTION IS COMING:

ZERO.

** ** **

NUMBER OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED BY TRUMP RESCINDING OBAMAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN DREAMERS:

ZERO.

** ** **

NUMBER OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WHOSE PRESENCE HAS BEEN EXCUSED BY TRUMP:

11 TO 50 MILLION (depending on whether you believe the propaganda or the facts).

** ** **

NUMBER OF EXTENSIONS OF THE E-VERIFY SYSTEM TO PREVENT ILLEGALS FROM BEING HIRED OVER AMERICANS:

ZERO.

** ** **

NUMBER OF H1-B FOREIGN WORKERS IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN TRUMP TOOK OFFICE:

APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION.

** ** **

NUMBER OF H1-B FOREIGN WORKERS IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY:

APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION.

** ** **

NUMBER OF ASYLUM LOOPHOLES CLOSED:

ZERO.

** ** **

NUMBER OF TOP-LEVEL ADMINISTRATION JOBS OFFERED TO IMMIGRATION CONTROLLERS WHO ARE NOT NAMED STEPHEN MILLER:

ZERO.

** ** **

FIVE THAT I KNOW OF.

** ** **

NUMBER OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL TRYING DESPERATELY TO IMPLEMENT TRUMPS IMMIGRATION AGENDA WHOM TRUMP MOCKED AND FORCED OUT OF OFFICE:

ONE.

** ** **

Apart from immigration, probably the single most important campaign promise Trump made was to end the carried interest loophole. Most Republicans would break out into a cold sweat if asked to raise taxes on George Soros. FINALLY, we had a Republican (or Democrat) who wasnt beholden to Wall Street!

During the campaign, Trump said this tax scam allowed hedge fund managers to get away with murder and vowed to eliminate it. Americans who hadnt voted for 30 years said:How do I register to vote?

Lets take out the slide rule!

** ** **

NUMBER OF CARRIED INTEREST LOOPHOLES ELIMINATED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP:

ZERO.

** ** **

TOTAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2016 GIVEN BY GOLDMAN SACHS TO HILLARY CLINTON:

$388,000.

** ** **

TOTAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS GIVEN BY GOLDMAN SACHS TO TRUMP:

$5,607 (or 70 times less than Goldman gave to Hillary).

** ** **

NUMBER OF GOLDMAN SACHS EMPLOYEES PUT IN TOP ADMINISTRATION POSITIONS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP:

7 or more than Presidents Bush and Obama combined.

(For someone unable to fulfill the most basic of his immigration promises, Trump has been amazingly competent in accomplishing the things Wall Street wanted, but no one else did.)

** ** **

NUMBER OF ACTIONS TAKEN TO DEFEND THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF TRUMPS BIGGEST SUPPORTERS BEING DEPLATFORMED AND CENSORED, SUCH AS MILO YIANOPOLOS, GAVIN MCINNES, LAURA LOOMER, AND ALEX JONES:

ZERO.

** ** **

PERCENTAGE OF THE BASE THAT TRUMP CAN AFFORD TO LOSE IN 2020, AFTER MILLIONS OF OLDER, WHITER AMERICANS HAVE DIED OFF, AND MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS HAVE TURNED 18 AND BEGUN VOTING:

ZERO.

Ann Coulter: Hush Little Porn Star, Dont Say a Word

If thats the best hes got, Trump should demand we hold the election this coming Tuesday.

Cohen was referring to Trumps 2017 reimbursement of the $130,000 hush money he paid to porn star Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about her claim that shed had sex with Trump, aka Cohens client meaning much of Cohens testimony is barred by attorney-client privilege.But who cares about this sacred legal privilege? Were trying to get Trump!

Neither the media nor Cohen seem to realize that Cohen wasnt doing anything illegal when he paid the hush money. (Just because Trump thinks every Jewish lawyer is Roy Cohn doesnt mean you have to, too, New York Times.)

Words like hush money and porn star make the payments sound unsavory especially to The New York Times, known during the Clinton era as Defender of Inappropriate Presidential Sex but theres nothing criminal about paying money to suppress embarrassing information, even in the middle of a political campaign.

If it wasnt illegal for Cohen to pay the hush money, its certainly not illegal for Trump to reimburse him for it. Cohen was, after all, Trumps lawyer. He got reimbursed for a lot of things.

But we have to have days of hearings in hopes of establishing that Trump violated the campaign finance reporting requirements with these payments, in which case, OH MY GOSH, HED HAVE TO PAY A FINE.

Id be more impressed if they got Trump on a jaywalking charge.

President Obama had to pay $375,000 in fines for actual campaign violations during his 2008 run, and I dont think we needed 16 prosecutors, half of Congress, and the entire media on the case.

The theory of Trumps alleged campaign finance violation is that if youre running for office, all normal life expenses suddenly become campaign-related. According to these neurotics, ANY money Trump or his companies spent during the campaign is a potential campaign finance expenditure.

Paying your gardeners is a campaign expense because who would vote for a man who cant even keep the hedges tidy at Mar-a-Lago?If Trump had gone to the hospital for an appendectomy well, he got his appendix cut out because he feared that if he died of appendicitis, he wouldnt get the nomination.

Luckily our laws arent as insane as our media. For the hush money payments to be campaign expenses, the government would have to prove:

1) Trump, with his fine legal mind, knew he was violating the law; and

2) He authorized the paymentsonlybecause he was running for office.

So prosecutors have a fantastic case, provided they can get Trump to admit on the stand,Oh no, I wasnt worried that these allegations would hurt my brand at all. I didnt care about what my grandkids or Melania would think. I had Cohen pay off a porn star for the sole purpose of misleading the public into voting for me on the basis of my character.

Such an argument would be absurd with anyone, but were talking about Donald Trump. He didnt exactly hold himself out to the voting public as a moral paragon.

As voters were well aware, Trumps been married three times, has appeared in Playboy videos, and was a fixture on the Howard Stern show for years, discussing breast sizes and ranking womens looks. In the very first GOP debate, Fox News reminded viewers that Trump had called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.

The reason the Access Hollywood tape failed so spectacularly was that Trump had never appealed to Americans based on his character.

To take a contrary example at random, off the top of my head: Sen. John Edwards presidential campaign was entirely premised on his boasting about how much he loved the poor and loved his cancer-stricken wife and also loved his son, who died in a car accident, and hes never told anyone this story before

About a year before Edwards was caught by a real newspaper, The National Enquirer, visiting his love child and mistress in the Beverly Hilton, Edwards droned on and on about the importance of marital fidelity to CBSs Katie Couric. It was, he said, fundamental to how you judge people and human character whether you keep your word, whether you keep what is your ultimate word, which is that you love your spouse, and youll stay with them.

In order to preserve this utterly false image, Edwards arranged for hiscampaign donorsto fork over nearly a million dollars to keep his baby mama happy and quiet. These were donors not Edwards personal lawyer who ponied up because they wanted him in the White House, and the money was being spent to protect the candidates completely bogus public image.

But when federal prosecutors brought a case against Edwards for failing to report these rather more obvious campaign expenditures, the government was nearly laughed out of court. The media ridiculed the entire prosecution and the jury acquitted, presumably on the grounds that, however much Edwards didnt wantvotersto know about the affair, he also didnt want his wife to know.

Trump won the presidency not because he touted himself as a man of character, but because he said he was someone who could get things done. Like build the wall. If youre going to impeach him, impeach him for that.

Ann Coulter slams Trump: How could you betray’ your donors …

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter took to Twitter Sunday and slammed President Trump.

How could you betray them like this, @realDonaldTrump? More thanTWO-THIRDSof your donors were sending in $20 checks because they believed in you, Coulterwrote, citing data that a majority of donations to his campaign came from small donors.

Days ago, in another jab at Trump, Coulter responded to the news that Twitter is considering labeling tweets, including those from Trump, that violate its rules.

Maybe if he couldnt tweet, hed do something, CoultertweetedThursday.

Coulter, like Trump, is a frequent Twitter user and often uses it to communicate her frustrations with the president. She says he as failedto make good on his promise to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Following the release of special counsel Robert Muellers report on Russias interference in the 2016 presidential election, shewrote:No collusion and no wall. Id prefer collusion and a wall.

Trump fires back at ‘Wacky Nut Job’ Ann Coulter – POLITICO

Author and pundit Ann Coulter in recent months has emerged as one of the Trump administration's most vehement conservative antagonists. | Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images

President Donald Trump on Saturday branded former ally Ann Coulter a Wacky Nut Job less than a month after he insisted he did not follow the conservative commentator and blamed journalists for exaggerating her influence over White House decision-making.

Wacky Nut Job @AnnCoulter, who still hasnt figured out that, despite all odds and an entire Democrat Party of Far Left Radicals against me (not to mention certain Republicans who are sadly unwilling to fight), I am winning on the Border, Trump tweeted.

Story Continued Below

Major sections of Wall are being built and renovated, with MUCH MORE to follow shortly, he wrote in another post. Tens of thousands of illegals are being apprehended (captured) at the Border and NOT allowed into our Country. With another President, millions would be pouring in. I am stopping an invasion as the Wall gets built. #MAGA

Coulter in recent months has emerged as one of Trumps most vehement antagonists among right-wing media figures who had urged the administration not to cede ground to Democrats in negotiations for funding the construction of a border wall separating the U.S. and Mexico.

She is scheduled to speak at a public affairs luncheon Monday in West Palm Beach, Fla. near the site of Trump's expansive Mar-a-Lago resort, where the president is in residence until Sunday.

Coulter's protestations, echoed by members of the House Freedom Caucus and other conservative lawmakers, were partly blamed in December for Trumps decision not to sign a stopgap funding proposal that allocated far less than the $5.7 billion he had demanded for the wall plunging the federal government into a 35-day partial shutdown.

In February, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border after approving a spending accord reached by congressional deal-makers that apportioned $1.375 billion toward border security measures. The emergency declaration, which both chambers of Congress are poised to formally denounce, would allow the White House to redirect billions of dollars toward fulfilling Trumps campaign-trail promise. The move faces a series of legal battles.

Coulter slammed the bipartisan agreement and Trumps declaration, remarking at the time in an interview with a Los Angeles radio station, The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.

During a February news conference in the White House Rose Garden to announce his decision to invoke emergency powers, Trump insisted that conservative media figures dont decide policy, singling out Coulter and praising Fox News personalities including Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson, as well as radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Ann Coulter, I dont know her. I hardly know her. I havent spoken to her in way over a year. But the press loves saying, Ann Coulter. Probably, if I did speak to her, shed be very nice. I just dont have the time to speak to her, Trump said.

The president also said Coulter was off the reservation, adding: But anybody that knows her understands that. But I haven't spoken to her. I don't follow her. I don't talk to her. But the press loves to bring up the name Ann Coulter.

The far-right commentator, also a part-time Palm Beach resident, was a Trump supporter in 2016 because of his hard-line stance on immigration, but she's recently accused him of failing to back up his rhetoric.

WEST PALM BEACH Aside from the 600 or so people who came to hear her speak at the Kravis Center on Monday, conservative flamethrower Ann Coulter says it's hard to find people she can talk to now that she's directed her scorching criticism on President Donald Trump and his failure to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

"It's frustrating," Palm Beach resident Coulter said at a Forum Club of the Palm Beaches luncheon. "I can't talk to Trump detractors because, as the subtitle to my last book indicated, they're insane. I can't talk to the Trump flatterers because they think as soon as it comes out of his mouth, it has happened. No, he's an excellent talker. It's just when it comes to doing anything that he falls down on the job."

Rivaling Trump as a target of Coulter's ire was the media.

"Trump may be a shallow, narcissistic conman, but that doesn't mean the media are not the enemy of the people. Both things can be true," said Coulter. She later said the one positive of Trump's presidency could be the "total destruction of the lying media."

Coulter, a Trump cheerleader in 2016 because of his hard-line stance on illegal immigration, has become a harsh critic of the president, accusing him of failing to back up his rhetoric. A December Coulter column calling Trump "gutless," along with criticism from other immigration hard-liners, is credited or blamed for goading the president into insisting on $5.7 billion in wall funding and plunging the federal government into a 35-day partial shutdown when congressional Democrats refused.

Trump recently told reporters he hardly knows Coulter and described her as "off the reservation."

But Coulter was on the president's mind during his weekend visit to Mar-a-Lago. The president called her a "Wacky Nut Job" in a Saturday tweet and insisted "I am winning on the Border. Major sections of Wall are being built."

Coulter brushed off the president's criticism in an interview with The Palm Beach Post after her Forum Club remarks.

"I don't know why he doesn't just ignore me. He doesn't mind ignoring the rest of his base," Coulter said.

In her luncheon speech, Coulter compared Trump to the late President George H.W. Bush, who lost his 1992 re-election bid after breaking his promise not to raise taxes.

"The first George Bush, for example, 'Read my lips, no new taxes.' OK he said it one time at the convention. One time. Trump talked about building the wall at least once a day for 18 months," Coulter said.

If the wall-supporting Trump base isn't energized in 2020, Coulter said, "the nightmare scenario is that Democrats and they have gone mad that they elect someone completely crazy, just wild left-wing. That's the debate right now, are they going to go with someone half normal or are they going to go with an AOC type?" Coulter said, referring to left-wing freshman U.S. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York.

In an audience question-and-answer session, Coulter fielded a few questions about her caustic style.

"Do you believe your work helps to heal our nation's divisions or make them more pronounced?" said one written query submitted by an audience member.

"For one thing, who cares about divisions? That's how democracy works," Coulter replied. "I think we could use a little more honesty in our political discourse. I'm hard-pressed to name another political commentator who isn't making money off taking a particular position, on the left and the right."

Another questioner asked: "When troubled people are animated by extreme rhetoric, do you ever become concerned or question your style? And do you have any thoughts about the vitriolic political climate and how it might incite others?"

"Yeah, I have something to say: Grow up," Coulter responded. "I promise you nothing I've said comes close to what's said about me live on national TV. Look, we live in a democracy. We're supposed to have roiling debates ... 'Why can't we all just get along?' OK, give in to me we'll get along fine."
