Ann Coulter went on an early Sunday morning Twitter tear, ripping Donald Trump, calling him “the most disloyal actual retard that has ever set foot in the Oval Office.”
The far-right media pundit and former Trump defender was triggered by the president’s Friday tweet in which he called for Alabama voters to “not trust Jeff Sessions” and instead put their support behind Sessions’ republican Senate seat challenger, football coach Tommy Tuberville.
“3 years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville), the true supporter of our #MAGA agenda!,” Trump tweeted.
And that set off Coulter, who called the POTUS a “moron,” “retard” and “lout,” who was incapable of “pretending to be” a “decent, compassionate human being.”...
Trump didn't build the wall and never had any intention of doing so. The ONE PERSON in the Trump administration who did anything about immigration was Jeff Session. And this lout attacks him. https://t.co/fIzHtmbOfR

COVID gave Trump a chance to be a decent, compassionate human being (or pretending to be). But he couldn't even do that. https://t.co/fIzHtmbOfR

In February 2019, Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border, while pushing himself away from Coulter. She responded by saying that “the only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.”

Ann Coulter needs to date Bill Kristol, since both are anti-Trump morons.
Coulter is so 1999.
Coulter didn't like the Bushes, and didn't like what she called the "girly boys" at National Review.
Whether she was part of the conservative establishment or not is hard to say. She's too erratic to fit into a tidy box like that.
Coulter has a lot in common with Trump, and that may be the problem: her ego is too big and she's too impatient.
This loser is so then. She definitely belongs in the “jerk” category irrespective of her apparently severe “problems”.
No. Don’t bother me again.
F her she is nothing more than a heroin addict
I think we've been had. My parents always told me you are the company you keep and Coulter has always kept company with crazy leftists thus she she actually is a leftist.
Years ago she gained conservative cred because even with Republicans in charge they were the One World, holier than thou people who were not real conservatives or even real Americans. Ann could pretend to be conservative and rake in the cash all the while knowing the leadership was steering our country into the iceberg.
When Trump came into office and started upsetting the good ol' boy network and making America great again she started walking the razor's edge trying to make money pretending to be conservative yet becoming angry that conservatism was really happening. Just like every other fake conservative she has finally gone off the deep end and cannot control herself and her true convictions.
Ann has a drinking problem. She drinks more than she eats. She should go to rehab before she’s found dead. Wretched woman...
I now believe she never was. She played us for cash. Trump has a unique ability to smoke out all the fakes.
Very good summary, Hear Hear!
She’s the Taylor Swift of politics. Instead of writing songs about disillusionment, she writes books.
“Was it just a coincidence that after Ann Coulter started posting tweets”
Yes it was.
Coulter has been undercutting President Trump during his whole Presidency - she did not start just before some pivotal policy change.
President Trump declared the emergency and diverted the funds strictly according to the Congressional appropriations timeline - totally unrelated to anything Coulter may or may not have been saying.
To be done right (sustainably), border security has to be in the budget in perpetuity. Maintenance and operations funds are needed. To achieve that, the President needed Congressional cooperation.
Also, the Republican Party needed to maintain unity on the issue. They claimed that they had to reduce risk of wasting money, by having the analysis complete and vetted, before sinking the main funds - aim before firing. That is the normal budget process, built into Congressional rules. It was greatly accelerated for President Trump’s number one priority, but still was adhered to.
As soon as the Comprehensive Plan was finally accepted by Congress (Dec 2018), they were to have funded full scale deployment, according to Congressional leaders.
But Democrats took control of the House the next month, and reneged on the deal. As soon as they voted on a budget that did not contain the money needed for full scale deployment (14 Feb 2019), the President declared the Emergency the very next day (15 Feb, not waiting for for the legislation to arrive at his desk). Ann Coulter had not a damn thing to do with it - it was strictly driven by Congressional budget realities.
“Trump all of sudden started dipping into national defense budgets to pay for the wall?”
Again, if you had any real experience, with real Federal or Military budgets, you would know that there are long lead times to make changes. Many second and third order effects occur when Program funding is shifted. These can be life and death issues in the Military.
When the emergency declaration was made 15 March 2019, all of the exact funding that would be reallocated ($3.6 billion in Military Construction funds (MILCON), $2.5 billion in Military Counter-Narcotics funds, and $600 million in Treasury Department Asset Forfeiture Account funds) was detailed - indicating a long period of planning and preparation had preceded the announcement.
Having worked on the Military budget myself, I believe it very unlikely that planning for that diversion started any less than a year prior - likely within months of President Trump taking office.
“There would have been no “studies” necessary to tear down old wall and put up new, better wall.”
Of course there was a need for a study. All major construction is preceded by extensive analysis and documentation - years’ worth - surveys, design documents (blueprints), work breakdown structures, cost estimates, financial analysis, competitive contracting/sourcing strategy, etc..
How much money will be needed when? You have to have a detailed plan to estimate those costs. What kind of barrier (costs vary more than tenfold), what is the priority order? What? Where? How? Who? When? There are a thousand questions that must be answered, before real world professionals embark on a multi-billion dollar construction effort - or anybody is going to give them billions of dollars to do it.
No competent real estate professional (like Donald Trump) is going to start spending billions of dollars, until those questions are answered. The simple reality is that there is a long lead time to break ground on major construction projects, and this one is beyond simply major - it is historic in scope.
The reality is that the normal multi-year lead times were greatly shortened for the Trump Wall Program, and he is on track to bring the project in below cost and ahead of schedule, from what was developed in the Comprehensive Plan ($25 billion over 5 years). He has the money, and the contract vehicles in place, to lock it in before the end of this year, even though the contractors will have to work feverishly to deliver their contract obligations, through all of next year.
It has been a masterstroke to advance this huge program so far, so fast.
Ann Coulter knows this, and yet continually (and deliberately) misstates the reality. She lies outright about the status of facts (like today’s “Trump didn’t build the wall”, when over 190 miles of new Super Wall System are already standing, just for an example). When Calexico, or San Diego (the biggest City on the border) experienced order of magnitude improvements after the completion of new Trump-style Super Wall System, Ann Coulter would tell her readers “Number of miles built so far: Zero” (supposedly because there was some trivial quibbling distinction she was choosing to rely on, about what would count).
The most outrageous and ridiculous of her lies, is that she somehow drives Presidential policy with her criticisms, and nothing would happen without her prompting. Delusion.
It’s amazing that so many of these Never-Trumpers seem to believe that after Trump is gone, we’ll all flock back to their books, columns, television appearances, websites, etc...
...or will we?
Ann Coulter has turned into a word I can’t say on FR. She is a 100% write off.
Getting old and losing your looks is hard on a woman. Give her a break.
She blames Trump for Roy Moore when Trump DIDN’T want Moore nominated. (Ann was for Brooks and yes obviously Brooks was the best choice and not Luther Strange but come on)
She calls Tuberville another Moore (based on nothing, Jones is gonna be gone) and then seemingly endorses Kris Kobach in KS who might actually be another Moore.
She claims Sessions “HAD TO” recuse himself. She’s all up on Sessions jackstrap.
Yes the wall isn’t built but that’s cause Congress won’t do it (Ryan didn’t want it anymore than Nancy).
The bitch has lost it.
Some liberal idiot thinks she’s betting that we will all turn on Trump and is getting ahead of the curve. I think she’s just a crank who likes the smell of her own farts.
thing to remember is that at one point Ann Colter dated bill Mahr.
I didn’t even bother to ping anyone to this thread because it was just so sad and pathetic. She just committed absolute political suicide and won’t be resurrected. The left won’t have use for her except as a useful idiot to mouth the same OrangeManBad hate talking points, and she had destroyed all credibility with the right. She’ll learn she has no place and no one to go to.
They seem well suited to each other, two assholes.
