Ann Coulter lashed out at Donald Trump on Tuesday for telling his supporters that sections of his proposed border wall are already built.
Coulter shared to Twitter a Washington Post Fact Checker article titled “President Trump says his ‘beautiful wall’ is being built. Nope,” which stated that Trump has proclaimed the wall is being built, when in reality, it isn’t.
“The White House failed miserably to achieve its objectives on funding for a border wall, receiving relative peanuts,” the article read. “It sought $25 billion but ended up with 5 percent of that. Moreover, the money came with strings attached so that it could be used only for fencing, not the ‘great’ and ‘beautiful wall’ promised by Trump.”
Alongside her tweet of the article, Coulter also wrote: “Even a Washington Post reporter knows that not 1 inch of Trump’s wall has been built. Does Trump think his supporters are dumber than a WaPo reporter?”

Earlier today, Trump, incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat, and Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democrat from New York, engaged in a heated fight at the Oval Office over the president’s misleading facts about the wall.
“A lot of the wall is built, a lot of people don’t know that. A lot of wall is renovated,” Trump said. “Some wall has been reinforced by our military. Our military has done a fantastic job. So the wall will get built.”
Twitter wasn’t feeling too bad for Coulter:
Yes. Yes, he does. https://t.co/c7Pr1G7tBP [3]

Half his supporters believe the moon landing was faked and the Earth is flat, which Ann knows full well, as well as that their stupidity is due in large part to conservative propagandists, such as herself. https://t.co/8JRUou9zuQ [11]

Yes, @AnnCoulter [13], Trump does think his supporters are idiots. And of course he's absolutely right for a change. https://t.co/Mt5uUART2b [14]
