Donald Trump Ruins Ann Coulter’s Book Launch

Coulter’s dilemma, as the author of a brand new book extolling Trump’s hardline immigration bonafides, is the same now confronting the candidate’s right-wing base. After growing speculation that Trump might tack to the center and renege on his campaign promises—the one he has stated most clearly and unequivocally is his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and to build a wall along the Mexican border—the candidate’s stance on the issue has become increasingly obfuscated. Despite assurances from the Trump campaign that the Republican nominee is not flip-flopping on immigration, it remains unclear as to what Trump intends to do with 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. should he make it to the White House.

This is such awesome news. I was going to start a thread about it but you beat me to it. Yesterday was a happy day for me, and this news was certainly part of it.

 

[Armoured]

I'm choking on schadenfreude here.

Trump was genuinely surprised the other evening on Hannity when the vast majority of those in his audience 'voted' to allow long time illegals to stay.

well to be fair: he seems genuinely surprised whenever he leaves that echo chamber he's been living in for the past 18 months.

You have to admit that that echo chamber is pretty big.

They do, though.

I can do that.

 

[tulc]

I can do that.

But then you're not running for President!
tulc(isn't really sure Mr Trump is either)

And, do you think it will be big enough for him to win?

 

[OldWiseGuy]

And, do you think it will be big enough for him to win?

I don't know, but I think there is a pretty large hidden undercurrent of support for him.

According to his website his plans have not changed.

[Freodin]

His plans do not change. His plans do not need to change.

His plans are: get the vote of the xenophobes by telling them that he will expel the immigrants, get the votes of the liberals by telling them that he will leave the immigrants alone.

Trump does not care what you prefer... as long as you vote for him. And America will be great again, regardless of his politics, because they are HIS politics, the bestest there are. Believe me! Trust me!

 

[Fantine]

Given the large number of small businesses that had to close when Trump declared bankruptcy and didn't pay his bills, Coulter is far from the first person who's been stiffed by Trump. Didn't she realize that by the time she wrote the book his position would have morphed dozens of times?

 

[dgiharris]

I don't know, but I think there is a pretty large hidden undercurrent of support for him.

I think 30 years ago he could win, but minority votes are too high and he has disenfranchised a high percentage of Blacks and Hispanics.

However, I was so wrong about his chances in the primary that I cant write him off with this.

So who knows?

Indeed. Remember these girls?

He didn't pay them either.

[Haven't seen an update as to whether they eventually got paid or there's a lawsuit ongoing, but in terms of easily avoidable PR disasters, this is a good one]
