I think Anne was correct in her assessment of Trump but became impatient. The Swamp was a lot more viscous than she thought, and the Rinos were not helpful. But Trump dragged them kicking and screaming to success...until the Pandemic. Even in that Warp Speed was amazing. Some states not so much.
Ann Coulter, High Priestess of Trumpism, Takes a Victory Lap
Before there was the alt-right, there was Ann Coulter. Inside the mind of the conservative provocateur who has spent twenty years trolling America.www.vanityfair.com
Vanity Fair: What did you think of Donald Trump before this election cycle?
Ann Coulter: I probably thought what the Never Trumpers think of him now: I thought he was a tacky boor, I suppose, if you had asked me. I feel horrible saying that now, but I never thought of him. I just sort of saw the headlines. So I did not know that he was the kind of person who could actually believe things and was as patriotic as he seems to be, and wouldn’t back down.
You’re now one of his most vocal advocates. How did you gravitate toward him as a candidate?
I never thought that Trump was going to run for president; but I was very firmly on record, including in the book that I wrote before, Adios, America, as saying that Republicans should stop wasting their time with these novelty candidates. It’s not going to be a businessman; it is not going to be a talk radio host; it’s not going to be a member of Congress. Concentrate, we are wasting time, we are harming the eventual nominee. I mean, I am sorry, I love him, but Herman Cain was never going to be the nominee. It’s never going to be Duncan Hunter, who I supported. I thought the Republicans should just concentrate on governors—I had been haranguing Republican primary voters all this time . . .
Why were you so insistent on the nominee being a governor?
A governor of a big state has been vetted by the media. They know how to deal with the media—they are not going to go out and say stupid things, like talk about “legitimate rape” or calling a pregnancy resulting from rape “a gift from God.” No, we want somebody with more political skills who won’t back down when he comes under attack. He has to have been through the process before.
It turns out that all of the things I was looking for in a governor, Trump has even more. He has been vetted by the media, he has been attacked by the media his entire life, and is perfectly comfortable in front of a gaggle of microphones. Everything that you need that filter for, Trump has more of it than any cheesy governor. But still, was he going to stick it out?

Sure seems like she supported Trump to me. At least she did in 2016. Then she got to see what he really was...
