When real-life supervillain Ann Coulter is the voice of reason, you know we’re in deep trouble.
The right-wing pundit took to Twitter to criticize those on her end of the political spectrum lauding President Trump’s widely publicized tax avoidance as “smart.”
“I don’t think the conservative take on @realDonaldTrump paying no taxes should be: BECAUSE HE’S SMART!” she wrote.
“I’ve paid nearly 50% of my income in taxes, year after year, and any system that allows billionaires to pay ZERO is unspeakable [sic] corrupt.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
She added: “How about changing it, Democrats?”

No matter that she still managed to somehow falsely blame Democrats — Twitter was shook.
“Is Ann Coulter an actual human?” pondered one commenter. “Or just pretending this week?”
“You know the system is corrupt when Ann Coulter suddenly starts making sense,” observed another.
“Have the Body Snatchers taken over?” asked yet another.
But here are some of the best responses:
Ann Coulter is like a broken clock that’s somehow only right once a year. https://t.co/2wErYJeccI

She’s molting. She’ll be back in a new skin shortly.

But if Trump and Ann Coulter break up who gets custody of racism?

Praising Ann Coulter for something that makes sense is similar to liking Ted Bundy because you both like the same football team.

And lest anyone forgets:
Please don't give Ann Coulter a pass just because she managed to find the right words for her particular base. She is a vile person trying to lay blame at the feet of Demos without accounting for the GOP. They are both responsible, she is just spinning it to fit her narrative. pic.twitter.com/8tZmQdD2uV

She is probably just bitter her tax accountants aren’t as good ( or crooked ) as Trump’s. Freaking Conservatives can’t play nice with each other. No wonder they can’t get along with anyone else.

Hmmm so now that his actions hit her bank account, she speaks up.. yep.. #soundsaboutwhite

Asking why Democrats don’t change a tax code that allows billionaires to pay nothing is what’s known as a “rhetorical question.”
Dems wouldn’t dare touch a tax scam that benefits their BIGGEST DONORS.

It’s adorable that Republicans and the Trump administration just pushed through a massive tax cut for billionaires, and yet the same old screenames are still on here trying to pretend that Republicans didn’t do that.

Herr Kieran, the Democrats did change the tax code to benefit a majority of Americans when Bill Clinton took office in 1992, in part by raising the top marginal federal tax rates on rich people, and the GOP claimed it would lead to an economic collapse. Look it up–they went on and on about how Clinton’s tax policy would lead to calamity. Instead, we had 8 straight years of economic expansion, and Clinton was able to leave W Bush with a surplus, which he promptly blew through. Then he blew up the US and global economies (remember 2007-9), which Barack Obama had to repair first thing when he took office in 2009.
Then, once Barack Obama was president, the Democrats repeatedly raised taxes on the rich (though at a far lower level) on the super-rich, in part through the ACA, and the GOP claimed it would destroy the economy. Yet again, we witnessed roughly 8+ straight years of economic expansion as well as a vital health insurance program (20+ million people now have health care that didn’t, 120 million have guaranteed protections that they didn’t) that continued until Don the Con blew up the economy through his disastrous response to Covid-19.
Every time the GOP gets into office, they destroy the US economy but end up enriching millionaires, billionaires and global corporations. They are a complete and utter DISASTER!

Republicans putting the onus for fairer taxes on Democrats is just hilarious. The entire reason for the Republican’s existence is to cut reduce or remove taxes on the rich.

Isn’t Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter sisters and didn’t they both play Ronald McDonald in McDonalds commercials?

The people cannot rely on politician’s to make the necessary tax code changes because it will affect many of them and their lobbyists “bigly”. There would have to be public outrage and full fledged anarchy. Also, funny how quickly people like Ann do a complete 180 when it comes to the money under their mattress.
Mister P
I have never been able to understand how all these Trump supporters are ok with giving millionaires tax breaks.
The stupidest ones think that a payroll tax cut with more take home pay is actually a tax cut.
Kangol2
They’re like the loyal subjects who allow monarchs to freely pocket as much as they can based on some allegedly divinely ordained or cleverly written mythical right, or dictators to rob them blind without putting up a fight.
Either way, they’re easily hoodwinked so long as some vulnerable scapegoat or enemy is identified as the target of their hate and resentment.

I wouldn’t get too excited at Ann’s sudden “conversion.” A few weeks ago she wished that the deranged Kenosha shooter was president. And oh, she still looks like a praying mantis with blond hair despite her boob implants.

Two words instantly pop in my head when I see or hear Coulter. Skank and whore.

There are two ways, I think, to view Trump’s tax “avoidance”. He would have you believe he is smart. Yea Donny like YOU actually fill out your taxes. Possibly it can be viewed as a criminal?
ShowMeGuy
I take it that she is complaining because she believes Trump, Inc. and the far right have become too liberal.
Den
Or she is complaining because she has another “book” coming out and wants the media to remember she exists.
