Ann Coulter Tore Into Trump And He Went All Passive …

President Donald Trump may like to dish it out on Twitter, with seemingly no one immune from being attacked in one of his executive time tweetstorms.

But it seems as if the notoriously thin-skinned president cant exactly take it, if his reaction to controversial conservative pundit Ann Coulter calling him gutless for failing to deliver on his promise of constructing a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border is any indication.

According to the@TrumpsAlert Twitter account, which tracks Trump family activity on the social media platform, Trump either pettily unfollowed or blocked Coulter who up until now has been one of his staunchest supporters in the wake of her blog post.

Trump did not appear to make any public statement or social media post on Coulters criticism, however, or his decision to drop his following tally from 46 to 45.

Those followed by the president now include members of his family, administration and primetime hosts of Fox News, like Tucker Carlson, who caused controversy last week by claiming immigrants are making America dirtier.

Ann Coulter says Trump may have been scamming voters with …

Far-right commentator Ann Coulter insulted President Donald Trump on Wednesday over his inability to get his long-promised wall built along the southern border of the United States.

In an interview with the conservative Daily Caller, Coulterwho has previously called out Trump about the wallsaid she worried that the president might be missing his last shot to get his wall built, considering Democrats would soon control the House of Representatives.

"Either Trump never intended to build a wall and was scamming voters from the beginning or he hasnt the first idea in how to get it done and no interest in finding out," Coulter told The Daily Caller. "My prediction is his support will evaporate and Trump will very likely not finish his term and definitely not be elected to a second term."

The controversial Coulterauthor of the books In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!andResistance Is Futile!: How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mindhas often attacked Trump over not getting the wall done. Earlier this month,she tweeted in response to a Washington Post article about the wall: "Even a Washington Post reporter knows that not 1 inch of Trump's wall has been built. Does Trump think his supporters are dumber than a WaPo reporter?"

Trump, meanwhile, has insisted he'll get the wall built, even as Congress pushed forward legislation to fund the government despite the president threatening to shut it down over border wall funding.

"In our Country, so much money has been poured down the drain, for so many years, but when it comes to Border Security and the Military, the Democrats fight to the death. We won on the Military, which is being completely rebuilt. One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!" Trump tweeted earlier on Wednesday.

The White House had said it would look to redirect funds from elsewhere to build the wall, an idea Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosishot down quickly.

The House and Senate will not approve a wall from reprogrammed funds or anything else. It wont happen, Schumer said.

Coulter during a podcast interview with The Daily Caller earlier Wednesday said Trump's presidency would be "a joke" that will leave "no legacy whatsoever if the wall wasn't built."

Why would you [vote for him again]? the provocative author and columnist asked. To make sure, I dont know, Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner] can make money? That seems to be the main point of the presidency at this point.

Theyre about to have a country where no Republican will ever be elected president again, she added. Trump will just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populists for a while, but hell have no legacy whatsoever."

Trump Unfollows Ann Coulter on Twitter After … – thewrap.com

President Trump officially unfollowed Ann Coulter on Wednesday after months of withering criticism she has leveled against him, primarily over the lack of progress on his promised wall along the Mexican border.

The unfollow happened at 7:40 p.m ET, without fanfare and was memorialized by the always watching TrumpAlert bot that follows the Trump familys activity on Twitter in real time.

At least he read the column, Coulter told TheWrap in an emailed response to the news, with a link to her latest attack on Trump.

His business is convincing people with lowbrow taste to give him their money, she said. Either Trump never intended to build the wall and was scamming voters all along, or he has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out.

In the end, well probably find out wall was Trumps safe word with Stormy Daniels. Its just something he blurts out whenever hes in trouble, Coulter added.

Though she has lately leveled ferocious criticism of the billionaire, Coulter ratcheted up the rhetoric to a new level on Wednesday after telling various media outlets that Trumps unwillingness to shut down the government over the wall would not only doom a second term, but would probably make him unable to finish his first term.

Outside of the Fox News Xmas party, hes bleeding supporters and the barbarians are at the gates, Coulter told TheWrap in an email. The details about Stormy and Cohen are creepy, even if not criminal. Trump voters are exhausted. If he gives them no reason to fight for him, they wont.

Coulter now joins other high profile unfollows including Trumps former attorney/fixer Michael Cohen and CNN.

Dumping Coulter is a risky move for Trump as she represents his most die-hard supporters. Long one of his biggest backers, she has written two books in support of the billionaire and was once rewarded for her loyalty with a free membership to Mar-a-Lago.

Ann Coulter: Jews Part Of Hate White Men Democrats The …

Comedy Central

Arch-conservative pundit Ann Coulter is fingering Jews as a key part of a liberal hate white men coalition that she claims runs the Democratic Party.

The right-wing talking head posited that Jews and other Democratic voting blocs like LGBT people and black women actually despise one another but unite around an implicit shared hatred for white men.

I mean, you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers. The only thing that keeps the Democratic base together is for them to keeping focusing on, No, white men are the ones keeping you down. You must hate white men. she said on Laura Ingrahams show. Its the one thing they have in common.

Coulter didnt explain how Jewish men would fit into her paradigm, since many of them consider themselves to be white men.

She went on Fox News Tuesday night to discuss the controversy within the Womens March, in which several of the leaders are accused of anti-Semitism. Coulter herself frequently complains about Jews and holds white-nationalist views.
