Ann Coulter says 'the only national emergency is that our president is an idiot'

https://theweek.com/speedreads/824063/ann-coulter-says-only-national-emergency-that-president-idiot

 

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% 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."

That doesn't make sense what she says

I don't know who she is, only time I have ever seen her was when people were at a CNN interview and she predicted Trump would win the presidency and all the reporters laughed at her.

 

Other than that I have no clue whom she is, was she a comedian before and had turned into a political activist?

Oh wow! Well, she's an oldie on the right, used to write a ton of those pop-political books that were bestsellers back in the 2000's, kind of like Hannity but without ever having her own TV show to back it up. She fell into relative obscurity during the Obama years, but she still has a following of those who remember her from the W Bush days. She's been critical of Trump lately, but that's not too surprising because she's always been more of an establishment Republican.

   I've been a big fan ever since she said ionizing radiation is good for you. Once I realized she wasn't even trying to make sense and that she was just completely out of it, I came to appreciate the entertainment value. Failed trolls are ubiquitous and annoying, but to really succeed at it and make a career of it actually takes a degree of skill. She deserves credit for that.

I may not be the sharpest marble in the box, but I think this may in fact be wrong.

And the left is holding her opinions up as a valid reason to attack Trump. Looks like desperation to me.

   It is, but IIRC, many on the right used to like what she said about Obama too. Sometimes it's best to recognize when someone is not all there.

  Yep. Wrong enough to know that there is almost no way she could be that wrong on purpose. She is trolling people, but she is making money doing it. As long as we recognize that, no harm done.

Right on, she's kind of like the Milo Yiannopoulos of the Boomer generation.
