Conservative commentator Ann Coulter ripped President Trump over the news that he has agreed to end the government shutdown by accepting a temporary funding bill without money for his border wall, saying that Trump is now a bigger wimp than former President George H.W. Bush.
Coulter posted on Twitter shortly after Trump made the public announcement in the Rose Garden of the White House on Friday.
Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.
Coulter has long been thought of as someone Trump looks to as a gauge of public support amongst his conservative base. She said last month — right before the shutdown began —that she would not vote for Trump again in 2020 without a border wall.
She published the book “In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!” in 2016 but has been critical of him recently, saying Trump’s presidency would be a “joke” if he gave in to Democrats by signing government funding legislation that didn’t include money for a border wall and warning him not to cave.
After previous remarks against Trump, Coulter pointed out that he unfollowed her on Twitter.
Earlier this month, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) asked Coulter to tell Trump“it’s OK” to fully reopen the federal government.
