    I think she was one of only a few people that Trump was following on twitter a few years ago. So that raised her profile in the media. Who knows why Trump was following her, maybe he liked one of her posts in passing and so decided to follow her.
    Nowadays he is following almost 50 people including Tucker and Hannity. He no longer follows Coulter.

    He's myopic. He befriends whoever talks his game. Cuts himself off from information flow rendering himself redundant and impotent. Incapable of seeing a problem/issue from both sides and using political nous to reach a satisfactory conclusion and spin it as a victory. The art of the deal, which one could argue he struggled to master, has nothing to with the art of politics.
    His style of smash or smash through may appeal on the campaign trail but doesn't translate to real world getting shit done Oval Office politics.

    Anne Coulter has been a hack for a long time now! Ignorant of the fact that RINO liberals and Democrat liberals are opposing President Donald Trump at every turn? What about the non-stop investigations launched against him as well? 24/7 non-stop personal, ad-hominem attacks by liberal media and political hacks on TV and cable. Yet, inspite, of all that, he managed to get conservative judges to the US Supreme Court, strip the Obamacare penalty, cut corporate taxes, cut taxes on most Americans, re-negotiated unfair trade deals and sign others, increased employment for blacks, asians, hispanics, etc., fought for border wall funding but, stymied by Democrats and RINO liberals? What is President Donald Trump supposed to do? Air traffic controllers deliberately, called in sick so, President Donald Trump ended the shutdown. There is nothing else the man could have done! He puts out an emergency declaration and gutless RINO liberals joined Democrat liberals in opposing him with a resolution?

  5. Sorry but this is typical RNC/WH spin. The things you listed are the very least we would have expected from someone like Jeb Bush. Let's not forget, there is no trade deal with China, no peace deal with North Korea, GM just shut its iconic Lordstown plant, throwing thousands of Americans out of work while they keep their Mexican plants humming, and most embarrassing for Trump, there is no wall and there isn't going to be a wall. He just signed a budget bill which expressly prohibits him from building one.

    Of course he has had opposition. What did he expect? That his buddy Schumer would go along with him because he used to write big checks to him? Honestly, the intensity of the opposition and the lengths they have been willing to go to have surprised me. But everyone knew he would have to use every bit of leverage he had to get the wall. Instead, he fucked around for two years, filled his administration with people who opposed him and his policies and put his son in law in charge of seemingly everything.

    Trump could have traded any number of things that both parties were desperate for, like the massive tax cut for billionaires, to get his wall. He could have used his inherent power as Commander in Chief to get the military to build it, or he could have diverted DHS funds to it. Instead, he talked crap.

    Now, he has totally stabbed his base in the back and is out babbling every day about letting in more immigrants, because business wants them. Of course they do. Business likes to keep wages low. How is that helping actual Americans, you know, like the people in the Midwest who voted for him?

    Illegal immigration is actually far worse than during Obama's regime. We have groups organizing massive caravans of illegals who are coached on what to say to claim asylum. Now reports are coming out that DHS is ordering its examiners to let in as many as possible, even though they know the asylum claims are bogus. Even worse, having a kid with you guarantees you get in, so we are encouraging child smuggling and the child sex slave trade. Great job, Mr. President.

    ps. When they say they are "apprehending" large numbers of border jumpers, this is spin. Yes, they are then taken to a facility and let loose after a few weeks or less if they have a kid with them, with a court date. How many do you think show up? Zero.

  6. She wrote an influential book on our suicidal immigration policy, Adios America. He apparently read it and saw the issue as a good one to ride.

    He's not used to women talking back to him or refusing to kiss his ass, so he no doubt was infuriated when she began to point out what a mess he was making if his presidency, one that she and a lot of other people saw as the last chance to save the country.

    President Trump has now made a total 180 degree turn from Candidate Trump. He is attacking the people who got him elected, the ones he hasn't fired from the WH. He realizes the wall isn't happening so he's trying to distance himself from it and silence the people who try to hold him accountable. No doubt he has been fed the traditional republican koolaid, which is that his voters have no alternative, so he can blow them off now and suck up to the CEO class and the campaign money they bring. We'll see how that works out.

    Does anyone other than Trump believe he’s winning on the border? Illegal crossings just hit an 11 year high: https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2019/03/08/why-illegal-crossings-on-americas-southern-border-have-hit-an-11-year-high…https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1104503216111321089…

    Wacky Nut Job @AnnCoulter, who still hasn’t figured out that, despite all odds and an entire Democrat Party of Far Left Radicals against me (not to mention certain Republicans who are sadly unwilling to fight), I am winning on the Border. Major sections of Wall are being built...

    Jeb Bush would have done squat as he is a globalist. If Donald Trump was a globalist, everyone would be singing Kumbaya and be hunky dory. Yeah, there is no trade deal with China yet! The issues involved are serious like intellectual property rights, balance of trade, etc. Who do you think is going to do a better job? Wait till 2024 when someone else is in the White House then, you can see if they can do a better job! Nobody from the RINO liberals are going to do squat and we will be back to square one!

  10. The way Trump turns and so publicly admonishes former friends and supporters is not a good look and displays a complete lack of professionalism. He is without a doubt and small and petty man. Too bad the left is so far off the reservation as i could easily support someone else, but their current line up is so deep in radical left fascism that I cannot even consider them as an alternative, so apparently we are stuck with a man child for president.
