Conservative commentator Ann Coulter slammed President Donald Trump’s decision to visit the border this week as “ beyond moronic” in a series of angry posts to social media.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Twitter earlier today that the president will travel to the Southern border “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.”

Shortly after, Coulter criticized the president for planning the visit and compared the decision to cancer research. “Trump GOING TO THE BORDER is beyond moronic. Does he need to meet with a cancer patient before deciding to fund cancer research?” Coulter tweeted.

“Trump GOING TO THE BORDER is like politicians who switch positions on gay marriage after talking to a gay person,” she continued in another post. “Did they hate gays before? These are public policy issues, not coffee klatches.”

Coulter added: “Border Patrol Agents are the LAST people who should be commenting on the need for a wall: "What do you think about us installing an inanimate object that can do your job better than you can?"
