Despite the extreme far-Right views that made her famous, author Ann Coulter has made it clear that she's no supporter of President Donald Trump.
But unlike most anti-Trump Republicans who withdrew support for the President after his antics went too far, Coulter's main criticism of the President is that he hasn't gone far enough.
Her most oft-used example of Trump's shortcomings is his actions to curb immigration.
Despite instituting travel bans, overcrowding detention centers, and separating children from parents, Coulter still doesn't believe the President's immigration efforts are sufficient, especially when it comes to one of the most emblematic promises of his 2016 campaign: the wall at the southern border.
Before Trump's election, there already existed hundreds of miles of existing fencing or other structures. The Trump administration tends to lump repairs to this existing fencing into its tally of how many miles of new wall have been built.
So while only three miles of completely new wall has been erected, only three miles of brand new primary wall exist.
Between racist dogwhistles and misinformation about the global pandemic, Coulter trolled Trump on Twitter over the size of his wall.
All but 3 miles of it was replacement fencing. Campaign chant wasn't: "Extend fencing built by Obama and Bush! Extend fencing built by Obama and Bush!" https://t.co/A4SJGrEO4b

“Don't worry. We're going to build the wall. That wall will go up so fast, your head will spin. And you'll say, 'You know, he meant it.'"

Trump went so far as to shut down the government over wall funding last year, and three miles of new wall exists.
People agreed that Trump came up significantly short on a wall most of the public didn't want in the first place.
Can't believe I'm gonna say this...I agree with Ann Coulter!

This is amusing, and true. But, that doesn't change the fact that building a wall was one of the dumbest ideas ever.

You actually thought he'd build that wall.
That's hilarious!

The wall will never be built, it was never intended to be built... why keep up the charade?
The wall is just a wedge to juice the hardcore super MAGA's .... it's a joke, they actually think it's almost done... They're laughable

Trump's supporters stayed loyal to the President—even if they had to change their chants from "Build that wall" to "Build some wall."
Yes Ann they had to replace all of the Obama fence because the only way it stopped anybody was when they fell over laughing at it.

Well... It was build a wall that really works.. if it wasn't a wall that was as good as what they were building.. it should be replaced!!

"Finish the wall" has become a popular phrase for the Trump campaign—but at this rate, it won't be finished anywhere close to Trump's lifetime.
