This is good. I never really knew how to take her. As time has worn on I've begun to think: Is she just another carnival barker? After watching this I really don't think she is. This is raw and what looks to be an unfiltered Frontline interview. Â
During the interview she mocks the idea of Trump playing 3D chess. She just says that there was a thousand dollar bill (Immigration) lying on the ground while no one else in the GOP was willing to/smart enough to pick it up.Â
I've now watched the first half hour of it and still have about 20 min to go. If you are interested and have some time I highly recommend it.   Â

She's an unattractive never been. She likes to drop names as if she's in the crowd. A vile piece of trash yet to make anything of her life outside of gossip.
Conclusion: Look at me I'm saying something about Trump. Buy my book. No thanks.

Her take on Sessions being picked as AG -- She was against it from the start, but was told Sessions always wanted to be AG. Her response was "...we have 10 seconds left on the clock to save the nation, this isn't Make-A-Wish Foundation..."

Quips to get people interested in her gossip. She's a never Trumper. She used Trump running for President to sell books. She's best friends with the Bill Maher crowd for a reason.

"...it's all about personnel; it's all about personnel. If he cared he'd hire the right people..."
She definitely has a point on many of his hires.
Anyway, I'm just giving you some of her takes. I don't agree with everything she is saying here at all. Some of it, but not all. I mean she acts as if the wall isn't being built. But the wall is being built.

I don't believe she is a Never Trumper, but if she actually is, it's coming from the opposite end of the spectrum than the Bryl Creme Brigade. i.e. Trump isn't hard enough on things like the border. In her view, of course.

Nobody is qualified to work in D.C. other than other D.C. folks. This is why I give Trump a pass. The hires that matter are the ones who are negotiating trade deals with other countries. The other hires just prove anybody can do the job as long as D.C. approves. I was shocked D.C. turned on Bolton but I am a patient man, so I waited until/if Bolton was let go to see how D.C. would turn. It did the same day.
Speaking of walls. She hates them for a personal reason.

True on the personal wall   , but she is obviously pro wall. The wall is getting built though. So I'm not quite sure why she acts as if it isn't. Now it might be much slower than she would have liked, and not much has been built to this point, but still... it is getting built. Â
I'm just not getting her angst on the wall.

She's pro Trump's message he used to get elected. I think she feels jilted by his failure to do much of anything he said he was going to on immigration in particular. My take is she liked his message and approach if not the man. Then turned on him when he failed to deliver.

I wouldn†t say she†s turned on him; I mostly think she†s just frustrated at the pace of things.  I do think she has a legit point on many of his hires though.  He got a lot of bad advice early on. Â
Where I tend to disagree with her is her acting as if nothing is getting done. Â I think she is overplaying that

Wall going up. Mexico aiding in border security. Better trade deals being worked. Economy rolling (tax cuts and cuts in some regulations). Swamp being fully exposed. Media being fully exposed and put on life support. Getting out of endless conflicts. Criminal sentencing reform. And yes, off the top of my head, judges among other things. Â
Now all things certainly aren't finalized, but he's taken on many things most of the previous presidents have punted on.Â
People wanted real change and now they're getting it. It isn't happening overnight, but it is happening.

No significant wall construction is occurring. Illegal immigration isnâ€t significantly addressed at all. Trade deals havenâ€t been done either. None of these things appear to be getting done anywhere near what was promised. The wall is symbolism for simpletons anyway.

Oh and criminal sentencing reform is a huge mistake. We should be going for longer sentences and more loss of civil liberties.

Fantastically candid interview of Ann Coulter.
