BY BEN MARQUIS, The Hill]<\/em><\/p>\n

To say that conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter was a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump\u2019s run for the White House would be a major understatement. She even wrote a book titled \u201cIn Trump We Trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

But judging by some of her answers in an interview over the weekend with The Daily Caller, Coulter\u2019s stance in support of Trump might be weakening, as she has increasingly been questioning some of the results of Trump\u2019s presidency thus far.<\/p>\n

\u201cUhhhh. I\u2019m not very happy with what has happened so far,\u201d Coulter stated when asked about there being no border wall yet and former President Barack Obama\u2019s \u201camnesties\u201d remaining on the books. \u201cI guess we have to try to push him to keep his promises. But this isn\u2019t North Korea, and if he doesn\u2019t keep his promises I\u2019m out. This is why we voted for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the great negotiation? Where is the bull in the china shop we wanted?\u201d she asked. \u201cThat budget the Republicans pushed through was like a practical joke \u2026 Did we win anything? And this is the great negotiator?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump was our last shot,\u201d she said of the 2016 election and her desire to save America from the political left. \u201cI kind of thought it was Romney, and then lo and behold like a miracle Trump comes along. I still believe in Trumpism. I have no regrets for ferociously supporting him. What choice did we have?\u201d<\/p>\n

Coulter likened her ride on the Trump Train to preparing to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles only to find it heading instead to New York, and though there was still time to turn around and go the right way, she was nevertheless worried about having gone too far in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he grabs the steering wheel and turns around and takes us toward LA, then I\u2019ll just put it down to him not being a professional politician and having to come into the presidency with no support network, with all of official Washington against him,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf we just keep going to New York, well again, I\u2019ll say we had no choice, but the Trump-haters were right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a nightmare,\u201d she added. \u201cI can\u2019t even contemplate that. Right now I\u2019m still rooting for him to turn around and take us toward LA.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t apologize for supporting Trump. He said all the right things and nobody else would even say it,\u201d stated Coulter. \u201cI got to tell you when I wrote (her book) \u2018Adios America,\u2019 I thought there was a 10 percent chance of saving the country. On the evening of Nov. 8, I thought, \u2018Wow, we have a 90 percent chance now, this is a chance that comes along once every thousand years, we can save America now.\u2019 And now, I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m someplace between 10 percent and 90 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Coulter doesn\u2019t necessarily blame Trump for her current disillusionment, instead pointing to the culprit that is pretty much roundly despised by most everyone across the board: Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do, of course, blame Congress most of all. They are swine. They only care about their own careers,\u201d she said. \u201cWho knows how much of it is corruption and how much of it is pure stupidity? People should start sending (House Speaker) Paul Ryan bricks to indicate how much we want the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the opposition party to Donald Trump,\u201d she added. \u201cThis is really something we\u2019ve never seen before. The president stands alone, it\u2019s his own political party, he\u2019s Gary Cooper. All we have is millions of Americans behind him, but he doesn\u2019t have anybody in Washington behind him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, Ann Coulter doesn\u2019t for a second regret supporting or voting for Trump\u2019s election, but if he doesn\u2019t at least appear to start making more of an effort to fulfill some of his major campaign promises, most particularly a border wall, Coulter\u2019s support could very well end up being withdrawn and shifted to someone else who will attempt to follow through on what she considers the most pressing issue for this country, namely border security and immigration.<\/p>\n
