Ann Coulter’s Next Book: In Trump W̶e̶ ̶T̶r̶u̶s̶t̶ Disgust?

We live in a time of reversals. Global cooling has become global warming. Michelle Obama’s speeches have become Melania Trump’s speeches. Women have become good at comedy. (Okay, okay settle down. I’m kidding!!! They haven’t.)

There are, of course, the Trump reversals. He’s flipped and flopped, flopped on his flips, and even did a 360 degree triple inverted shark jump. And there are Trump-inspired ones, like former anti-Trump bloggers changing course to defend him in the name of opposing his opponents … or whatever.

The best reversal, however, has to be Ann Coulter going from “worship” to what the sh**? over her continuing dismay with the man for whom she said she would “walk across glass,” which she revealed in detail in a Daily Caller interview.

So there’s no wall, and Obama’s amnesties look like they are here to stay. Do you still trust Trump?

Uhhhh. I’m not very happy with what has happened so far. I guess we have to try to push him to keep his promises. But this isn’t North Korea, and if he doesn’t keep his promises I’m out. This is why we voted for him. I think everyone who voted for him knew his personality was grotesque, it was the issues.

I hate to say it, but I agree with every line in my friend Frank Bruni’s op-ed in The New York Times today. Where is the great negotiation? Where is the bull in the china shop we wanted? That budget the Republicans pushed through was like a practical joke… Did we win anything? And this is the great negotiator?

“This isn’t North Korea” naturally completely contradicts her previous statement, which is what she intended, of course. Despite the undying loyalty she professed following what she calls Trump’s “Mexican rapist speech,” she wishes you to know it was always dependent on Trump following through on his campaign promises.

Coulter, who said she’d be fine with him performing abortions in the Oval Office thanks to his immigration positions, is apparently not fine with him signing the Republican budget.

Of course, her argument is that this is perfectly consistent. She was fine with him being trashy trash, as long as she got what she wanted. You may recognize that opinion as the one every single Republican pushing Trump last year repeated ad nauseum like it was some sort of great revelation of political vision. You may further recognize it as the one used by the current batch of conservatives trying to make up for opposing Trump by spending all their time trashing the people they were in total agreement with just a few months ago. That is to say, the former anti-Trumpers who have become fanatically opposed to current anti-Trumpers. You know, like when someone quits smoking and then they become the prophet born anew of clean lungs and empty ashtrays.

In any case, the point Ann is glossing over is gullibility. Asked by the Daily Caller if she would apologize to NeverTrumpers, Ann said:

I don’t apologize for supporting Trump. He said all the right things and nobody else would even say it.

So she liked him saying things, and other people said, “he doesn’t mean those things he says,” for which sin she and a virtual army descended upon them like locusts, and now that she herself thinks he didn’t mean those things he said, she has no regrets?

“I still believe in Trumpism,” said Ann. “I have no regrets for ferociously supporting him. What choice did we have?”

You had the choice not to do that. You had the choice to recognize that people who have spent their lives and dedicated their work to conservative values deserved a little respect, even though they correctly surmised you were foolishly believing words that had no basis in deeds.

Trump’s few kept promises are somehow glossing over the major points where he has totally reversed himself. Amnesty and Dreamers being a huge one, and one that we at RedState repeatedly predicted he would fold on like a cheap suit. He did. There were many pre-election reversals by Trump as well. We pointed them out. People who follow Coulter trashed us for it then, and they continue to do so now, even as his biggest promise to his biggest fans gets more and more unlikely to come true.

Still, Ann thinks the doubt is creeping. “I think all of the Trump true believers are petrified,” she said.

Now you know how we felt in all of 2016, Ann.
