That may be, but even an idiot says something worth thinking about every once in a while. I'm no fan of Coutler and I seldom align with her statements. But I found her above-mentioned blog post interesting because she casts Trump's post-election wall work in an interesting light. She raises a point that I had not previously considered.
While Trump has talked loudly and ceaselessly about the wall, his actual work to getting it built seems to be lacking and/or ineffective. By work I mean the day-to-day, roll up your sleeves, coalition-building, deal-making, ceaseless meetings, dozens of administration staff operating daily behind the scenes, public meetings, private arm-twisting, sub-deal horse-trading work that must be done to move any new policy or project through Washington.
Coulter looks at Trump's work history and says "Either Trump never intended to build the wall and was scamming voters all along, or he has no idea how to get it done and zero interest in finding out.”
I'll add that Trump's lack of wall results will likely persist and become more problematic for him now that the Republicans have lost control of the House of Representatives. The base chanted "Build the Wall." No wall has yet been built and it seems increasing unlikely it will be done. Will the base decide it's OK that Trump did not build the wall they chanted for? Will they find something new to chant? Will they fade?
Notwithstanding your opinion about Coulter's status and motives, she has a large audience and she is injecting ideas into it that will likely take root in a number of them. Time will tell how significant it will be that Coulter found reason to highlight Trump's wall work history and question his wall sincerity. To me, it is not insignificant that she said what she said. To me, it indicates what a number of others in the Trump base are beginning to think.
