Ann Coulter is slamming President Donald Trump over his Iran war as it drags into its sixth week. “I really wish ‘legal experts’ hadn’t screamed bloody murder about every little thing Trump did, so they could speak with authority now that he’s actually committing war crimes,” the conservative pundit wrote Sunday in a post on X. Coulter — an early megaphone for Trump who later distanced herself and has described him as an “awful, awful person” — appeared to be referring to the president’s push to send Iran “back to the stone ages” via the conflict, which has seen the American military likely responsible for a deadly strike on an Iranian girls school. On Thursday, U.S. forces bombed a large bridge near Tehran, a strike on civilian infrastructure that experts warn could constitute a war crime under international law. A hospital, university and other landmarks have also been damaged since the start of the U.S.-Israeli offensive. On his Truth Social platform over the weekend, Trump threatened Iran by calling on the regime to “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” He claimed to Axios that there’s a “good chance” of a deal between the U.S. and Iran ahead of a Tuesday deadline before adding that he’ll be “blowing up everything over there” if such an agreement doesn’t go down. Over the past week, Coulter also reshared several posts calling out Trump and his administration over the war, including one from a user who took issue with the president’s “open the fuckin’ strait” threat. “Morally I have a severe problem with this. I don’t think we are the ‘good guys’ anymore. We’ve gone full rogue. The events I’m watching are things that I never thought I’d see us ever do to anyone. It’s really disturbing,” read the post she reshared. Coulter separately promoted an X user who wrote that Trump’s recent comments about America not investing in day care, Medicaid and Medicare due to ongoing wars was “literally the opposite of what he ran on.” “Biggest scam in modern political history, hands down,” the post continued. She also dug up a 2019 post from the president, who once criticized the U.S. over the massive cost of wars in the Middle East that have led to the deaths of U.S. military members. “GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....,” Trump wrote on X (then Twitter).
