Welcome to reality, Ann Coulter.
The oft-offensive and consistently far-right Ann Coulter will not change her ideological outlook nor her perverted perception of Washington Post reporters. However, she now realizes that they've been had. She recognizes that Donald J. Trump believes that his supporters are really, really dumb. And he's out to prove it.

Of course, the conservative author's reacquaintance with
reality won't last long, but on Tuesday she did acknowledge
Even a Washington Post reporter knows that not 1 inch of Trump's wall has been built. Does Trump think his supporters are dumber than a WaPo reporter? https://t.co/iCbior7yFp— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) December 11, 2018
In Trump's behalf (in this context)- or in his disgrace- he
is still trying to obtain congressional approval for funding of a wall on the
southern border. Thus, there are even stronger indications that, yes, Donald Trump
believes his supporters just fell off a turnip truck.
In interviews
with Sean Hannity on February 22 and April 4, 2006, according to Politifact,
Donald Trump stated
It can be done. ... It will take place and it will go
relatively quickly. ... If you have the
right people, like, in the agencies and the various people that do the
balancing ... you can cut the numbers by two pennies and three pennies and
balance a budget quickly and have a stronger and better country.
However, President Trump has done the reverse and
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that
the preliminary federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2018 was $782 billion.
That was $116 billion more than the $666 billion shortfall in fiscal year 2017.
And the most recent CBO projection for fiscal year 2019
shows a deficit of $981 billion. Each year from 2020 to 2028, the CBO
projected, the deficit would top $1 trillion annually.
This state of affairs was not divorced from actions taken by
Trump himself, analysts say.
The two biggest drivers of the projected increase in the
2019 deficit were the Republican tax bill and the bipartisan agreement on
federal spending, both of which Trump signed.
Similarly, in an interview with The Washington Post on March
31, 2016, candidate Trump remarked "We’ve got to get rid of the $19
trillion in debt. ... Well, I would say over a period of eight years. And I’ll
tell you why.” However, the
accumulated public debt was projected earlier this year to rise from 76.5% of GDP in 2017 to 96.2% of GDP at the end of 2028.
When candidate Trump said that he would reduce the debt and
deficits, he calculated that voters wouldn't catch on till after he was
elected, if at all. He has won that debt; uh, er, bet.
Similarly, Trump continues denigrating Christianity as much
as possible, wondering when his supporters will catch on. "Two
Corinthians" instead of "Second Corinthians;" referring to
"my little cracker (and) little cup of wine; grossly misrepresenting the significance
of communion; putting money into the communion plate; confessing he never feels a need to confess.
And now this: asked as Thanksgiving approached what he's
most thankful for, the President might have said for "God's grace" or
"the love of God for us all," or "living in the greatest country
ever."
"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble," James wrote. Therefore (and not however), after
unremarkably replying "for having a great family," he added "and
having made a tremendous difference in this country."

However, she now realizes that they've been had. She recognizes that Donald J. Trump believes that his supporters are really, really dumb. And he's out to prove it.
