Right-Wing Pundit Ann Coulter Dismisses 'RINO' Trump, Says 'He's So Done'

Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter has dismissed former President Donald Trump as a viable Republican leader, describing him as a "jacka** RINO" and insisting that "he's so done."

Trump has faced growing opposition from conservative media and some prominent Republicans in the aftermath of the 2022 midterms. Many of the candidates Trump endorsed failed to win in key battleground states in a year when Republicans were projected to easily defeat Democrats. Instead, the GOP failed to take control of the Senate, lost several high-profile governor races and only won the House by the slimmest of margins.

Coulter, who was previously a staunch supporter of the former president, has readily criticized Trump since he was still serving in the White House. The right-wing pundit's criticism has continued in the wake of the midterms earlier this month.

"Let's do it issue by issue, Trump versus [Republican Florida Governor Ron] DeSantis," Coulter said in a recent video discussion on her Substack, which she posted a portion of to Twitter on Saturday. The conservative commentator said that Trump backed COVID-19 lockdowns, whereas DeSantis kept his state open.
