First he lost Matt Drudge, now he’s lost Ann Coulter, too.
The conservative author and columnist, once a big support of President Trump, is done with him.
It all happened after Trump posted on Twitter. “Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from “angels.” Some are very tough, hardened criminals. President Obama said he had no legal right to sign order, but would anyway. If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“Okay, that does it. I give up. They can stay. You must go,” Coulter responded.

Coulter has bashed Trump for his failure to make good on his campaign promises to crack down on illegal immigration. She lost it when Trump said he’d simply make “a deal with Dems for them to stay.”
DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era policy that allows young people who were brought to the United States illegally as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for work permits.
Trump has also lost support from conservative blogger Matt Drudge, a good friend of Coulter’s.
“The Drudge Report has for the last three days been spewing ALL CAPS, bolded, underlined, and sometimes bright-red headlines that sound terribly grim for the president,” The Washington Post reported last month.
“HILL ROCKED”“REPUBLICAN CRACKS EMERGE”“AMERICA BRACES FOR IMPEACHMENT”These were presumably written by the elusive Matt Drudge, who has been courted by Republican presidents and would-be presidents since he helped bring about President Bill Clinton’s impeachment in 1998 using exactly the same website and screaming all-capital type. In some ways Drudge’s fervent coverage of “IMPEACHMENT 2019” is a return to form. But it’s also an extraordinary break between the right-wing internet’s godfather and its favorite president.
