Ann Coulter’s political expertise is, shall we say, quite suspect.
The latest exhibition of her ignorance surfaced this weekend when she tweeted that the Paris terror attacks have guaranteed Donald Trump’s election as the 45th president of the United States.
Someone, pass the smelling salts to the fiery conservative commentator and make her take a whiff.
In the hours since the attacks — in the midst of this political season — one of the key questions hasĀ become: How does this hideous event affect the presidential contest?
Well, the Pundit Class in Washington and around the country has been virtually unanimous in this regard: The attacks expose Trump’s utter lack of experience dealing with international terrorism.
His empire-building experience won’t help him. Trump’s self-proclaimed ability to “negotiate” deals will be of zero value; we don’t negotiate with monstrous killers such as the Islamic State.
Yet, there was Ann Coulter — the darling of the far-right talk radio listening audience, blathering on her Twitter account that Trump’s election is a sure thing.
We need someone with actual experience in government and/or diplomacy — and someone who gathers his or her military knowledge from sources other than Sunday morning new talk shows — to take the reins as commander in chief.
My own advice to Ann Coulter? Shut the bleep up!
