Ann Coulter — a longtime supporter of the President who has recently started unloading on him over his handling of border wall funding demands — didn’t mince her words on Monday when she called his planned border visit on Thursday “beyond moronic.”
“Trump GOING TO THE BORDER is beyond moronic,” she said in a series of tweets Monday afternoon when the visit was announced. “Does he need to meet with a cancer patient before deciding to fund cancer research?”
Coulter’s recent critiques of President Trump have been credited, in part, for fueling Trump’s decision to shut down the government over his border wall. Before government funding ran out last month, Trump was initially in support of signing a bipartisan bill that would’ve kept the government open until February while both sides negotiated on wall funding.
But after conservative media personalities like Coulter and Rush Limbaugh raked Trump over the coals for not demanding money for one of his key campaign promises, Trump reversed and forced a partial federal shutdown, which is now entering it’s 18th day.

Trump GOING TO THE BORDER is like politicians who switch positions on gay marriage after talking to a gay person. Did they hate gays before? These are public policy issues, not coffee klatches.

Border Patrol Agents are the LAST people who should be commenting on the need for a wall: "What do you think about us installing an inanimate object that can do your job better than you can?"

What will Trump GOING TO THE BORDER accomplish? I've been to a hospital. That doesn't make me a doctor.

WOW, the definition of chutzpah… First you force tRump to bend to your will… then you call him out for being weak.
If there is one thing Coulter knows, it is moronic.
What is she trying to accomplish with this tweet? Piss off her last allies?
Well, I agree with her statement that’s it’s beyond moronic- but of course not with her reasoning.
Border Patrol Agents are the LAST people who should be commenting on the need for a wall: “What do you think about us installing an inanimate object that can do your job better than you can?”
Besides, a wall wouldn’t mind if there was another government shutdown over stupid demands and childlike behavior.
ETA: Is she afraid that this will cause the media to go to the border, see what’s really going on and start more fully reporting on the facts of the situation instead of just Trump’s lies.
