Ann Coulter: If Trump Doesn’t Get the Wall His Presidency Will Have Been a Joke

Conservative author Ann Coulter, one of Donald Trump’s earliest supporters, warned the President that if he doesn’t build a border wall his legacy will be that of a “joke presidency.”

Coulter, who was mocked after predicting Trump would win the White House in 2016 based predominantly on his populist appeal and his promise to halt illegal immigration, appeared on the Daily Caller Podcast to discuss the president’s apparent evolution from demanding a government shutdown to kicking the can down the road.

She warned the President that if he loses this battle, he loses the presidency in 2020.

“They’re about to have a country where no Republican will ever be elected president again,” Coulter said analyzing the GOP’s inability to extract border wall funding from the Democrats.

“Trump will just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populists for a while, but he’ll have no legacy whatsoever,” Coulter added.

Not only will Trump lose the wall, he’ll lose her vote

Coulter, the best-selling author of numerous books, including “In Trump We Trust,” warned the President that if he fails to secure the border with his promised wall, she would refuse to vote for him.

When asked if she would continue supporting him going forward, Coulter unleashed and predicted the only lasting legacy of Trump’s presidency will be to have made money for his kids.

“No (I won’t vote for Trump). Nor will, I think, most of his supporters,” she said. “Why would you? To make sure, I don’t know, Ivanka and Jared can make money? That seems to be the main point of the presidency at this point.”

Coulter reflects a growing frustration among Trump supporters, many of whom feel that stopping illegal immigration and enforcing the rule of law is of paramount importance.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in an interview with conservative Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, insisted the President has failed to keep his campaign promises, citing the border wall as one example.

Carlson, like Coulter, has warned that Democrats have opposed the wall for their own personal gain, with the former stating it will “stop the flow of cheap labor and new voters.”

Trump insists he’ll still build the wall using the military

President Trump still believes the border wall will ultimately be a victory for his administration.

“One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!” he declared.

The President is seeking to use the military to build the wall at the southern border, insisting that his renegotiation of the NAFTA deal will actually result in Mexico paying for it.

The President, sensing no cooperation from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, almost immediately signaled he would use the military to build the border wall.

“If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall,” he said. “They know how important it is.”

Funding has been a major source of disagreement between the President and congressional Democrats. Trump has demanded $5 billion while the resistance party has only been willing to cede $1.3 billion.

Somehow, the United States managed to pledge nearly $11 billion in aid to Central America and Mexico in the midst of the funding fight.

Coulter is right – Building the wall is a fight President Trump simply cannot lose if he hopes to win re-election in 2020. Let’s hope he’s right that it will get done “one way or the other.”

  • I agree Thomas, with everything you said. I do believe if this country took up a collection, we conservatives would donate enough to "build this wall".

  • Well, we all know Trump meant what he said. He has no control over what the House does, and the arrogance of Schumer and the Democrats. Maybe Trump should start a Donation Campaign from the public. I know I would donate. Democrats have lost all "Common Sense", or maybe never had it from the start. It's all for votes, for the left, and nothing more. They don't give a, you-know-what, about the illegals. It's Shameful. Having border security and control, is the only way we can keep this country safe. Illegal immigrant households receive an average of $5,692 in federal welfare benefits every year, far more than the average "native" American household, at $4,431, according to a new report on the cost of immigration released Monday. The Center for Immigration Studies, in an analysis of federal cost figures, found that all immigrant-headed households — legal and illegal — receive an average of $6,241 in welfare, 41 percent more than native households. As with Americans receiving benefits such as food stamps and cash, much of the welfare to immigrants supplements their low wage jobs. Unbelievable!

  • Coulter, as usual, is right.
    Preznit Arty McDealio is DONE...OVER...FINITO.
    Got fooled again.
    If The Donald loses enough of The Seldom & Never Voters...that put him in Office, he or his replacement will lose 2020, and some filthy Proto-Commie Demonrat, worse than Cokehead Poofter Obama The Chimp Thumbed, will then be smeared on The White House and this scum/pirate/vampire/beast afflicted nation.
    Civil War 2.0...coming right up.

  • Trump delivered...to the dimocrats...on the (no) wall and the unconstitutional bump-stock ban.

  • Now let us not attack the man that has done more for his country in two years than Obama did in 8. He has honored about 90% of his campaign promises and I think he is going to make every effort to make good on 100% of them. Let us face it. The Democrats want people to be divided. I can promise you that under Democrat or Liberal leadership the country would be finished. He is the only man holding the country together. We need to all pitch in and get creative. If we want a wall then perhaps we should fund it ourselves. Show the Democrats what we are really made of instead of wining and complaining. If the best ball player strikes out once and a while.

    I just want to say God Bless you President Trump. Thank you for being such a great man and doing so much for freedom and America. Even if you do not get money to build that wall, know that we still support and love everything you are doing. You can call on this old Canadian to help and support you any time and I will be there for you! May God Bless!
