Conservative commentator Ann Coulter called Donald Trump an “awful, awful person” but said she will vote for him anyway, though she suggested that she does not expect him to win.
Coulter told C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Sunday that she will vote for Trump in November “because if he loses he will be running again in four years, and then he will have lost four successive elections for us.”
Coulter added however that she is grudgingly voting for Trump because he is part of a package deal.
“Truthfully, I really like his choice of JD Vance, which I recommended back in May,” she said. “Can’t trust Trump as far as I can throw him, but I do trust JD Vance to care about the left behind people.”
Still, it is a reversal from earlier this year when Coulter said the only thing Trump could do to help the country is to “die.”
Coulter was a staunch defender of Trump. She once called the former president an “emperor god” and wrote a book titled “In Trump We Trust.”
However, Coulter turned on Trump for failing to fulfill several key immigration promises including his failure to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
On Sunday, Coulter said she made it very clear in her book that “Trump is an awful, awful person”. But she is willing to overlook that “because we need a wall on the border.”
