Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has turned on President Donald Trump, as she ripped him for the border wall fiasco that has resulted in Congress allocating a small slice of money to build portions of wall and Trump using his executive powers to find more cash.
"Forget the fact that he's digging his own grave. The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot," Coulter said Friday morning on KABC radio in Los Angeles.
When asked if Trump would blame the courts for blocking his attempt to build more border wall, assuming his emergency declaration is successfully challenged, Coulter was equally as blunt.
"I think that's what he and Jared [Kushner] and Ivanka [Trump] and the rest of the dream team are hoping because for some reason, he really doesn't want to build the wall," she said.
"This is the worst open borders the country has ever had, under a president who ran against open borders."
A bipartisan group of senators and members of Congress hashed out a Homeland Security spending bill this week to stave off another government shutdown ahead of a Friday night deadline. The measure allocates just under $1.4 billion for border fencing, less than Trump's request of $5.7 billion.
Trump will sign the bill and use a national emergency declaration to secure additional funding for the wall.
