Ann Coulter Slams Trump as a ‘Shallow, Narcissistic Conman’ Who Can’t Do the Job

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is not backing down in her criticisms of Donald Trump as evidenced from a recent talk she gave at a luncheon for the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches on Monday.

The Palm Beach Post reports Coulter continued her jabs at Trump, noting it’s been harder to find people to talk to.

“It’s frustrating,” Coulter said. “I can’t talk to Trump detractors because, as the subtitle to my last book indicated, they’re insane. I can’t talk to the Trump flatterers because they think as soon as it comes out of his mouth, it has happened. No, he’s an excellent talker. It’s just when it comes to doing anything that he falls down on the job.”

“Trump may be a shallow, narcissistic conman, but that doesn’t mean the media are not the enemy of the people. Both things can be true,” she added. She did admit one of the good things about a Trump presidency has been the “total destruction of the lying media.”

The once diehard supporter of Trump has fallen away since he has not kept his promise to build a border wall.

“The first George Bush, for example, ‘Read my lips, no new taxes.’ OK — he said it one time at the convention. One time. Trump talked about building the wall at least once a day for 18 months,” Coulter said.

Trump ripped into to Coulter last week, calling her a “Wacky Nut Job”:

Coulter, once a prominent and vocal supporter of Trump’s immigration policies, has repeatedly criticized the president in recent months over the negotiations regarding his long-sought wall along the southern border.

She argued in December that Trump’s presidency would be a “joke” if he gave in to Democrats by signing a government spending bill that didn’t include funding for the wall. Trump later refused to sign a spending bill, prompting a 35-day partial government shutdown.

Trump announced last month that he would declare a national emergency to allocate funds for the construction of a border wall. He made the decision while agreeing to a congressional spending bill without the $5.7 billion he had demanded.

“Forget the fact that he’s digging his own grave,” Coulter said afterward. “The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.”
