Friday may well have been the worst day yet of the Trump presidency, be it the fact that one of the president’s closest advisers, Roger Stone was arrested by the FBI to Trump’s failure to get a dime for his long-promised border wall.
And the fact that Trump caved on the wall has left an acrid taste in the mouths of many right-wing conservatives, and they were not shy to express their disgust with the president on his favorite social media platform, Twitter.
Among the snarkiest of the responses to Trump’s willingness to sign a spending bill without any money for the wall came from Ann Coulter, who posted this:
Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.

Conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, the wing nut who created the lie that Democrats were running a child sex ring out of pizza parlor, even sounded like he was ready to kick Trump to curb. Cernovich even praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
Trump is a broken man. It’s over for him.

Nancy Pelosi is alpha.

Here’s some of the other criticism from those who once supported Trump:
I’ve been writing for weeks that if Trump caved without a border wall, he’d be giving Pelosi a win and conceding defeat. He’ll look weak to his base. The public vote of confidence from supporters right now is not necessarily their private sentiment.

It’s amazing that you would swear an oath and fail to uphold it.
Maybe not so surprising, actually. https://t.co/b4sUpvOnfA

Trump said he would not reopen the government without funding for a border wall. He did not get that funding – so why is he reopening the government?
