Democratic Lawmaker Trolls Trump By Appealing Directly To Ann Coulter

"Please tell the President it's OK to open up the government," Rep. Jackie Speier tweeted.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) has appealed to controversial conservative pundit Ann Coulter to let President Donald Trump know “it’s OK to open up the government” as the partial shutdown enters Day 25.

Dear @AnnCoulter -- Please tell the President it's OK to open up the government.

While the president has a documented history of borrowing ideas from right-wing commentators, the pair recently had somewhat of a falling out on Twitter after Coulter called him “gutless” for failing to deliver on the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Twitter users were quick to find the humor in Speier’s trolling while others pointed out that it would have been funny “if it wasn’t spot on.”

Yes @AnnCoulter Please give Trump permission 2 Re-Open the Govt. We need groceries and to pay bills.Hubby could use gas $ to get to back and forth to work, guarding this countries most dangerous convicted criminals, seeing as he is still working without getting paid a dime.
