Ann Coulter’s new book is called “In Trump We Trust,” but the conservative pundit might already be regretting that title.
“There’s nothing Trump can do that won’t be forgiven,” she wrote in her book. “Except change his immigration policies.”
Trump did just that on Wednesday night with a plan to offer legal status to undocumented immigrants, an announcement that came the very same night Coulter held her book launch party.
She did not look like she was in a forgiving mood:
At first, Coulter was ready to offer excuses
“It’s just rhetoric, but it’s still annoying,” she told The Hill. “I think he panicked and he had to say [it] ... I don’t think he is softening. I mean the big thing is the wall.”
But later on Twitter, Coulter tore into the policy, comparing it to previous offers that come conservatives have dismissed as amnesty.

Only part he left out was the "hoops" they'll have to jump through! Trump:"No citizenship. Let me go a step further—they'll pay back-taxes"

Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty" [Pro Tip: "Back taxes" means we pay illegals $30k apiece in EITC.}

It's not "amnesty." It's "comprehensive immigration reform"!!!! Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty."

Well, if it's "hard," then never mind. Trump: "... to take a person who's been here for 15 or 20 years ....It's a very, very hard thing."

Needless to say, Coulter’s critics seized on the opportunity:

Would @AnnCoulter become the first person to have a book-burning party of her own book at her own launch? https://twitter.com/charlescwcooke/s...04546734096385 …

That awkward moment when you realize your new book is now completely irrelevant:

Trump flips on amnesty, betraying Ann Coulter the day her book praising him drops AND the launch party is at Bannon's house. #Schadenfreude

Watching Ann Coulter realize Trump's trying to flip flop on immigration makes me sing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCQGQ5qBQTA …

This is from Ann Coulter's book launch today. Look at her face. It's like she had a death in the family. https://twitter.com/RosieGray/status/768600231323832321 …
