Ann Coulter: Trump ‘will fold’ on border wall

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter doesn’t think that Donald Trump will get his border wall.

The government is currently in partial shutdown as the result of a showdown over funding for a border wall, affecting around 800,000 government employees. A bill that includes $5.7 billion in border wall funding does not have the votes to pass the Senate, and Trump previously rejected a bill that didn’t include funding for the wall.

In a radio interview with host Mark Simone, Coulter said, "The president and I have had a little tiff. For one thing, he actually did shut down the government—though don’t worry, he will fold in the end.”

In an interview with NBC, incoming House Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi maintained that Democrats will not budge on the wall, saying, “No. How many more times can we say no? No—nothing for the wall.”

Taking to Twitter, Trump doubled down on his desire for the wall, saying, "I remain ready and willing to work with Democrats to pass a bill that secures our borders, supports the agents and officers on the ground, and keeps America Safe. Let’s get it done! Sadly, there can be no REAL Border Security without the Wall!"

Coulter says that if Trump caves on the wall, the next president will be a Democrat.
