Coulter Unloads: ‘A Joke Presidency’ That ‘Scammed The American People’ With Promises Of A Wall

On today’s podcast we cover a lot of ground. Bestselling author Ann Coulter talks about the apparent walk-back of President Donald Trump’s demand for $5 billion to build the border wall or he’ll allow the government to shut down, and she’s not happy. Without a wall, Coulter said she would not vote for Trump in 2020 and “it’ll just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populist for a while, but he’ll have no legacy whatsoever.” We also cover the Flynn sentencing hearing that wasn’t, the bipartisan prison reform bill that passed the Senate last night, and Facebook, which is under fire again for doing what we all knew they were doing.

Listen to the show:

In a fiery interview at the end of the show with Ann Coulter (which starts at 46:00), we get into the seeming walk-back by the White House of Trump’s “line in the sand” last week when he told Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer that he’d be willing to shut down the government if he didn’t get $5 billion to start building the border wall. Now the White House appears to have taken a shutdown off the table, instead seeking to work with Congress to move money already allocated for other things to the construction of the wall. Coulter, one of Trump’s biggest supporters in 2016, has almost lost her faith that a wall will ever be build. To say she’s mad at the president is an understatement. There’s 15 minutes of fury at the end of the show.

“They’re about to have a country where no Republican will ever be elected president again,” Coulter said. “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.”

When asked if she would vote for Trump in 2020 if there is no wall, the author of the book “In Trump We Trust” said, “No. Nor will, I think, most of his supporters. 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.”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg with Ann.

Earlier in the show we talk about Gen. Michael Flynn, who was supposed to learn his fate Tuesday at his sentencing hearing, but saw it postponed yet again. The judge in the case seemed all over the place, implying Flynn might be guilty of treason and mocking prosecutors for some of their arguments. What is going on here? We get into it.

The Senate passed “prison reform” legislation last night in a fit of bipartisanship, but is it a good bill? Who will it release from prison, and are the people we’ve been told it will help, the “non-violent drug offenders,” really all that non-violent? Or are they people that cut a plea deal to have more serious charges dropped and to avoid a long jail term? We discuss the problems with the bill and the concept of it.

Social media lit up last night on the news that Facebook allowed other companies access to more of its users’ private data, including messages. Who is surprised by this? On Facebook, YOU are the product. If you don’t give them personal information, they can’t sell it. Would you be willing to pay to use the site in exchange for them not sharing information about you? It’s a tradeoff, no doubt, but you can’t really act surprised that they’re doing exactly what everyone knows they’re doing.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
