The problem is that less than a year ago, Coulter published a book titled “In Trump We Trust,” laying out the case for him as the one politician who would finally make good on her anti-immigration agenda. The key word there is “trust.” Trump’s fanatical advocates violated what I think should be the First Commandment of the Right: “Place not thy faith in politicians.”

Yet these are the people who thumped their chests and mocked us for doubting Trump, declaring that we were weak and compromising and impugning our very manhoods. (Remember that these are the people who dragged the term “cuck” from its sordid corners of the Internet and brought it into the mainstream.)

So it’s totally appropriate to take a few moments to gloat at the collapse of Trumpism. But let’s not spend too long in this phase.
