Conservative talk radio host — and unofficial Trump influencer — Ann Coulter hammered her message home in an interview with Vice News Tuesday saying that President Donald Trump is “dead in the water” if he can’t get his wall built.
“It is self preservation, because he is dead in the water if he doesn’t build that wall,” she said. “Dead, dead, dead.”
Political observers have credited Coulter’s hardcore lobbying for the wall and dire warnings about Trump’s political prospects if he doesn’t with contributing to the President’s newfound obstinance on getting his funding.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) certainly seems to think so, tweeting Tuesday:
Dear @AnnCoulter — Please tell the President it’s OK to open up the government.
