Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter skewered President Trump in a series of tweets Friday and suggested he will face impeachment after he signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill into law.
“CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT SCHUMER!” the one-time staunch Trump supporter and author of In Trump We Trust tweeted Friday, bashing the president’s work with Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT SCHUMER!

Coulter, a steadfast supporter of the southern border wall, continued by sending a flurry of tweets bashing the president’s lack of action on building the border and revving up national defense spending instead.
“MASSIVE DEFENSE SPENDING to induct transgenders & build BIG BEAUTIFUL walls … in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia,” she wrote.

She followed up moments later: “IT’S 3-D CHESS! (There’s never going to be a wall.)”

Trump signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill on Friday despite his displeasure with its provisions and price tag. He cited the military and his duty to keep the U.S. safe as his reason for signing.
In response to him speaking at length about national security, Coulter tweeted: “GOOD GOD! Will @realDonaldTrump talk about ANYTHING but defense spending???? Per Obama: The 1980s called & they want their foreign policy back.”

This would be like Reagan signing a bill that hiked taxes, slashed defense spending — but spent gobs of $$ on the Teapot Dome scandal.

“This would be like Reagan signing a bill that hiked taxes, slashed defense spending — but spent gobs of $$ on the Teapot Dome scandal,” she continued.
During the Friday news conference, the president spoke at length about his displeasure with the bill and vowed to “never sign another bill like this again.” To which Coulter snarked, “Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.”
“ I will never sign another bill like this again”
Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.

The conservative firebrand has walked back her support of the president after he failed to provide the hardline immigration policy she once hoped for.
Within the spending bill was $1.6 billion to begin building the border wall. The president vowed the construction would begin “immediately.”
