Ann Coulter goes off on Trump over taxes, saying he delivered his 'worst, most tone-deaf speech'
Ann Coulter rebuked President Donald Trump over his speech on Wednesday in which the president rolled out the broad outline of his tax reform plan.
In a slew of tweets on Wednesday, the firebrand conservative pundit said the president's focus on simplifying the tax code and lowering business taxes to 15% was missing an opportunity to prioritize some of his more incendiary, but unique, policy objectives, including building a southern border wall and deporting immigrants living in the US without permission.

Coulter particularly singled out the similarities between Trump's plan and a hypothetical plan that other Republicans like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would've put forward.

Indeed, beyond the prominent former Wall Street figures playing key roles in overhauling the tax code, Trump's administration has absorbed some financial figures from Bush's policy world.
Notably, Bush's former senior policy director Justin Muzinich joined the Treasury Department in March to work closely with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on "major policy initiatives" and on tax reform.
Over the past several months, Coulter has increasingly criticized Trump and mocked him on social media and in interviews, saying that he has not fulfilled his anti-immigration campaign promises.
"The millions of people who haven't voted for 30 years and came out to vote for Trump, thinking, 'Finally, here's somebody who cares about us' — Nope!" Coulter told The Daily Beast after former chief strategist Steve Bannon left the White House earlier this month. "Republicans, Democrats — doesn't matter. Jeb exclamation point, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton — doesn't matter. Goldman Sachs is running the country."
