Ann Coulter calls for Trump's impeachment, 'President Pence' in a series of brutal tweets
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has had it up to here with President Trump. After Trump on Thursday tweeted his support for the recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program just a week after rescinding its protections, the former Trump supporter and author of In Trump We Trust posed a pointed question:
Though Trump says he wants to eliminate the program protecting immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, thus opening them up to the risk of deportation, he simultaneously does not understand why anyone would "really want to throw out good, educated, and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military." "They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own," Trump tweeted.
On top of that "apparent about-face" on DACA, which The Hill reported has left many Trump supporters "furious," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed after their Wednesday night dinner with Trump that the president had agreed to "enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall." The White House quickly released a statement insisting that Trump had not agreed to leave the wall out of the negotiations.
