In a Wall Street Journal interview published on Sunday, Trump hit back at Ann Coulter, the conservative author whose threats about the defection of the president’s base were credited with pushing him to his once-uncompromising stance. When he backed down on Friday, she called him a “wimp."
“I hear she’s become very hostile,” Trump told the Journal. “Maybe I didn’t return her phone call or something.”
Also on Sunday, he attacked two top reporters for Fox News, his news channel of choice, saying they had displayed “even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC!”

Trump splitting with Fox News could be disastrous to his presidency. It seems like it may force his base to take sides.
