“Total capitulation”

Ann Coulter is beyond furious with President Trump:

Ann Coulter is taking her criticism of President Trump to the next level following his national emergency declaration, with the conservative commentator declaring Friday, “the country is over.”

Coulter hammered Trump in a Friday interview with KABC after he announced he would sign Congress’ funding deal and declare a national emergency. “The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot,” she said, per Mediaite. She also fumed that Trump is just “fooling the rubes” with this national emergency declaration.

The root of Coulter’s criticism isn’t that Trump is bypassing Congress, as she argued that Trump never needed Congress to build the wall at all. Instead, she suggested the president is actually “hoping” the national emergency declaration will just be blocked by the courts “because for some reason, he really doesn’t want to build the wall.”

On Twitter, Coulter said that responsibility for the border wall deal, which the president has said he is unhappy with, is “100{f03b982df00939a0603520e349290ee9e722cb707fe7cb6b379ee8d64c20e193} his,” and she responded to Trump saying in his press conference that he barely knows Coulter by writing, “THANK YOU, Mr. President for admitting that your total capitulation on campaign promises has nothing to do with me.”

Maybe he has finally cucked and capitulated. Maybe not. As always with the God-Emperor, wait two days before reaching any conclusions.

It strikes me as more than a little odd that despite the report on Breitbart, no one in the media or in either party establishment is celebrating the President’s signing of the funding deal. This tends to lead me to conclude that it is at least possible that he is simply leading them on and that he will not sign it in the end.
