I hear shes become very hostile, Trump said in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal. Maybe I didnt return her phone call or something.

His jab comes shortly after Coulter blasted Trump repeatedly for not securing funding for a wall along the southern U.S. border, his signature campaign promise.

Coulter took to Twitter on Friday, the day lawmakers and the White House reached an agreement to end a 35-day-long partial shutdown,to blast Trump as "the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States."

Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.

Later, the conservative provocateur made an appearance on comedian Bill Maher's show, where she continued to criticize the president for backing down on his demands for a border wall in order to reopen the government for three weeks.

Look, its crazy that I expect a president to keep a promise he made every day for 18 months," Coulter quipped to Maher.

Coulter has been one ofthe media's most vocal supporters of Trump's proposed border wall, and has warned the president repeatedly that he could lose in 2020 if he fails to follow through on his promise.

Trump, for his part, apparently unfollowed Coulter on Twitter in December shortly after she said she wouldn't support his reelection without a deal on a wall.

Trump hits Ann Coulter over recent criticism: 'Maybe I didnt ...

Controversial right-wing pundit Ann Coulter confessed Friday night how shed gotten it wrong when it came to President Donald Trump.

Coulter, who was once one of the Trumps fiercest advocates, sarcastically told Real Time host Bill Maherhow it was crazy she expected Trump to keep the promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that hed made every day for 18 months.

You voted for him, Donald Trump, and now youre finding out hes a lying conman. What was your first clue? Maher asked.

Coulter replied: OK, Im very stupid girl, fine.

Shed earlier tweeted that Trump was the biggest wimp ever to serve as president, after he agreed to reopen the federal government for three weeks without having convinced Congress to fund the wall.

Trump either blocked or unfollowed Coulteron Twitter in December 2018 after she called him gutless. Many political observers claim Trump believes Coulter represents his base, which she alluded to her in her sit-down with Maher, and that her views can affect his decisions.

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter blasted President TrumpDonald John TrumpSunday shows preview: Shutdown negotiations continue after White House immigration proposal Rove warns Senate GOP: Don't put only focus on base Ann Coulter blasts Trump shutdown compromise: We voted for Trump and got Jeb! MOREs immigration proposal to end a partial government shutdown, suggesting the plan amounted to granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants.

Trump proposes amnesty," Coulter tweeted. "We voted for Trump and got Jeb!

Trump proposes amnesty. We voted for Trump and got Jeb!

100 miles of border wall in exchange for amnestying millions of illegals. So if we grant citizenship to a BILLION foreigners, maybe we can finally get a full border wall.

100 miles of border wall in exchange for amnestying millions of illegals. So if we grant citizenship to a BILLION foreigners, maybe we can finally get a full border wall.

In exchange for funding for a steel barrier at the border, Trumps proposal included three years of legislative relief for about 700,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program recipients and a three-year extension for about 300,000 refugees covered by Temporary Protected Status. He also proposed increasing funds for drug detection at the border and increasing the number of border agents and immigration judges.

After Trump campaigned heavily on building a border wall during his 2016 presidential run, some of his most far-right supporters have cried foul at any perceived attempt to compromise on immigration. Coulter and other media hosts such as Rush Limbaugh have led the charge to convince the president to stick to his campaign promise.

Coulter told Vice News this week that Trump would be dead in the water if he doesn't build that wall.

Its a textbook example of what the drive-by media calls compromise, Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday. Trump gets nothing, and the Democrats get everything, including control of the House.

The president has proven to be sensitive to critique that he is faltering in negotiations on a border wall. The White House signaled last month that it would approve a Senate-passed spending bill that did not include border wall funds. But Trump declared he would not sign it after facing criticism from conservative allies on Capitol Hill and in the media.

Rightwing scold Ann Coulter is tearing into President Donald Trumps offer to extend protections for the so-called immigrant Dreamers in exchange for Democrats support for $5.7 billion for his southern border wall.

Coulter lashed out after Trumpoffered to extend protections for three years under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

Coulter mocked the plans amnesty, noting sarcastically that maybe Trump could finally get an entire border wall if we grant citizenship to a BILLION foreigners. The In Trump We Trust author also accused Trump of turning into his GOP presidential candidate rival Jeb Bush, who is far more supportive of immigrants.

Coulter speaks for extreme immigration hardliners. But many observers believe her opinions sway the president. Conservative pundit Charlie Sykes said earlier this month that if Trump begins to waffle on his insistence on his border wall, White House aide Stephen Miller known for his hardline stance on immigration would simply pick up the phone and call Ann Coulter ... and the base will get riled up to bring the president to heel.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) dismissed Trumps DACA offer as a non-starter.

Earlier this month Coulter told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business that she would rather deport Dreamers than MS-13 gang members.

Id deport the Dreamers before deporting MS-13 members. You catch them, they at least say, Ok, you got me, Coulter noted cryptically.

For all that President Donald Trumps latest proposal to reopen the government is a non-starter with Democrats, its still a risky gambit. Trump is already catching heat from his own base, with complaints that his new concessions on immigration amount to a four-letter word in conservative circles: amnesty.

The latest offer, which Trump announced from the White Houses Diplomatic Reception Room Saturday, keeps up his demands for a $5.7 billion border wall and reiterates a previous $800 million provision to address the humanitarian crisis at the border, but this time also offers to extend existing protections to DREAMers and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status for three years.

This puts Trump in a tenuous situation as the partial government shutdown drags on. Congressional Democrats feel they have the upper hand in negotiations and few incentives to give the president what he wants. Trumps approval ratings were already slipping prior to his announcement, even among core members of his base, and now his new proposal risks alienating his staunchest defenders.

If the situation already seemed entrenched before his major announcement Saturday, Trump may have just made it worse.

Influential voices were more than happy to share their disdain for the deal on Saturday, starting with conservative political commentator Ann Coulter, who has long used her platform to demand that Trump keep his signature campaign promise.

Rep. Steve King, a longtime anti-immigrant voice who was recently reprimanded in Congress over his racist views, jumped into the fray early, tweeting:

The list of detractors goes on.

Breitbart.com characterized the deal with the headline: Three Year Amnesty. Roy Beck, president of the anti-immigration group NumbersUSA, stoked fears that the deal would incentivize more caravans of migrants and families traveling from Central America. James Carafano of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, said the so-called amnesty undermines our citizens confidence in the rule of law.

All this, even after the administration reportedly tried to make sure the proposal wouldnt alienate the presidents base. At one point the proposal was said to include a (slightly) greater swath of immigrants, but Steven Miller, the architect behind Trumps most aggressive immigration policies, was still able to get his fingerprints on the deal, the New York Times Julie Hirschfeld Davis reports:

In recent days, as White House officials had been working out the details of the compromise, Mr. Miller intervened to narrow the universe of immigrants who would receive protection, according to people familiar with the internal discussions who described them on the condition of anonymity.

While the original idea had been to include protections for as many as 1.8 million undocumented immigrants eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the Obama-era program known as DACA that protected those illegally brought to the United States as children, Mr. Trump ultimately proposed shielding only the 700,000 who are enrolled.

The partial government shutdown is just a day away from hitting the one-month mark, and still, theres no foreseeable end in sight. Trumps big announcement was supposed to give the White House cover, to make it seem as though the president had a deal waiting at the negotiating table, never mind the fact that Democrats have previously rejected similar compromises Trump could then say the other party was the one stonewalling on the shutdown.

But the gambit may prove costly for the president. Polls show Trump, and congressional Republicans broadly, are shouldering the majority of the blame from the shutdown. And doubts are starting to creep into his base. According to a new CNN poll out last week, though white people without college degrees generally support building a wall along the US-Mexico border, their overall views of him are starting to dip.

Working against Trump is his own record on immigration deals. As Voxs Dara Lind explains, Trump has a long history of backing out of immigration deals when the pressure is on. Hes said he hoped to protect DREAMers and save DACA while his administration did just the opposite. And then hes made vague verbal promises to move forward on new legislation, only to back out when immigration hardliners start breathing down his neck.

Even Trumps own base has been conditioned into treating Trumps promises on immigration with skepticism. Its worked for them in the past to pressure him into submission. Well see if the tactic will work again.
