Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter says she is “deeply depressed” over President Trump’s decision to sign the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill into law.
During a late Saturday evening interview with Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, Coulter griped about how there was not a sufficient amount of money put towards building a border wall with Mexico, which she stressed is crucial for national security.”
“I can’t see any way to sugar coat what a disaster this is,” Coulter said.

Coulter noted there were several Republican senators who voted against the bill, half of which she said “did it for the right reason,” and proposed having them run for president.
Within the spending bill Trump signed on Friday, $1.6 billion was set aside to begin building the border wall, significantly less than what Trump had wanted. Still, the president vowed the construction would begin “immediately.”
Coulter, who on Friday suggested Trump will face impeachment, argued the law instead would “prohibit” building the wall. She was one of his staunchest supporters during the 2016 campaign, particularly because of his hardline stance on immigration.
