Conservative media commentator Ann Coulter, once a fan of former Republican president Donald Trump and now a harsh critic, took another swipe at him this week.

In a podcast, she said, “You don’t need to suck up to Trump any more, conservative talk radio hosts, talk TV hosts, Republicans running for office. He’s done. He’s over.”

In a tweet linking to the podcast, she also told followers, “Conservative media is lying to you about Trump’s popularity.”

Coulter made similar points in a January column in which she declared, “No one wants Trump. He’s fading faster than Sarah Palin did — and she was second place on a losing presidential ticket.”

She has also called Trump “abjectly stupid” and a “liar and con man,” Newsweek reports.
