Not too long ago she was declaring “In Trump We Trust” and preemptively forgiving him if for aborting babies at the White House because his immigration plan was so terrific, now Ann Coulter is regularly enjoying some serious Trump taunting, and he’s firing back.
After she repeatedly shamed him for failing to secure funding for the “big, beautiful wall” on the southern border, Trump smacked his formerly biggest fan over the weekend.
“Wacky Nut Job @AnnCoulter, who still hasn’t 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 said in a pair of tweets Saturday. “Major sections of Wall are being built and renovated, with MUCH MORE to follow shortly. 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.”
During an event at for the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches Monday, Coulter slapped back at Trump, providing her own label for him: “shallow, narcissistic conman,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“I don’t know why he doesn’t just ignore me,” she said, the Palm Beach Post’s George Bennett reported. “He doesn’t mind ignoring the rest of his base.”
On Tuesday, Coulter took some more shots at Trump, this time in a statement to the Daily Mail — and this time adding a bit more flair.
“The President’s tweet says he’s already building the Wall. Could he give me the precise latitude and longitude of its location? Also, how many miles long is it?” she taunted. “I want to throw a party there and need the exact coordinates.”
The public feud between Trump and Coulter really started revving up back in February, when Trump officially declared Coulter “off the reservation” after she had taken some swipes at him.
“Ann Coulter, I don’t know her,” he told reporters in response to questions about the potential influence of conservative voices on his policy. “I hardly know her. I haven’t spoken to her in way over a year. But the press loves saying ‘Ann Coulter.’ Probably if I did speak to her, she’d be very nice. … I would speak to her, I have nothing against her; in fact, I like her for one reason: When they asked her like right at the beginning, ‘Who’s going to win the election?’ she said, “Donald Trump.’ And the two people that asked her that question smiled; they said, ‘You’re kidding, aren’t you?’ She said, ‘Nope. Donald Trump.’ So I like her.”
“But she’s off the reservation,” he added. “But anybody that knows her understands that.”
Coulter responded with perhaps her strongest public jab at Trump so far.
“Thank God he’s released me from any responsibility for what he’s been doing,” she told KABC in a radio interview in mid-February, RCP reported. “That was the biggest favor anyone could do for me today.”
“The country is over, by the way, that’s why,” she added. As for “national emergency,” he was just “fooling the rubes” with that stunt, she said.
“Forget the fact that he’s digging his own grave,” she said. “The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.”
