Coulter brushed off the president’s criticism in an interview with The Palm Beach Post after her Forum Club remarks.
“I don’t know why he doesn’t just ignore me. He doesn’t mind ignoring the rest of his base,” Coulter said.
In her luncheon speech, Coulter compared Trump to the late President George H.W. Bush, who lost his 1992 re-election bid after breaking his promise not to raise taxes.
“The first George Bush, for example, ‘Read my lips, no new taxes.’ OK — he said it one time at the convention. One time. Trump talked about building the wall at least once a day for 18 months,” Coulter said.
If the wall-supporting Trump base isn’t energized in 2020, Coulter said, “the nightmare scenario is that Democrats — and they have gone mad — that they elect someone completely crazy, just wild left-wing. That’s the debate right now, are they going to go with someone half normal or are they going to go with an AOC type?” Coulter said, referring to left-wing freshman U.S. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York.
