Ann Coulter told her 1.5 million social media fans on Friday that her patience with President Donald Trump is running thin.

Mr. Trump’s announcement leading into the weekend that he would roll back much of former president Barack Obama’s policy on Cuba coincided with an angry outburst from Ms. Coulter. The “In Trump We Trust” author said in a series of tweets that America’s highest priorities are being ignored.

“Yesterday, the Trump administration kept in place Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty,” she wrote, The Blaze reported. “This daily Trump melodrama is worth it ONLY if he’s really going to build the wall, cut off Muslim refugees and deport illegals. Today’s BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday —Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration — Zero.”

The conservative pundit then said that Vice President Mike Pence would be president in “about two weeks” if he vocalized the need for a border wall.

Mr. Trump’s Fiscal Year 2018 budget request includes $2.6 billion for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, and roughly 500 new border agents.

“I thought w/ Trump we’d finally have a president helping OUR country,” she continued. “So far: Syria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, China, N Kor. Today: Cuba! At least Cuba’s in our hemisphere. How long can it be before Trump gets to America?”

Ms. Coulter was one of the president’s earliest advocates, telling a stunned audience during HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” that he stood the best chance of becoming the 2016 Republican Party presidential nominee.
