When will the MAGA Media Complex learn that once you prop someone up who agrees with all your talking points and then they get into office, almost none of those talking points will become reality?

Both Dobbs and Hannity have been critical of the shutdown deal, which provides $1.3 billion for border fencing but not the $5.7 billion for a border wall Trump had been demanding. Trump has technically not yet committed to signing it. Dobbs called the deal an "insult," while Hannity called it a "garbage compromise" and said any Republican who agrees to it will "have to explain."

Hannity later said he's "not concerned" about Trump signing the deal, per The Hill. But not everyone in the conservative media has been as understanding, with Ann Coulter saying Trump is "afraid" to fight for the wall. Coulter also retweeted a post criticizing the Times' reporting by saying that the White House is "trying to silence conservative critics who are attacking the deal."

Trump is reportedly calling up Fox hosts to defend the shutdown deal

While some Fox News hosts (Sean Hannity) caved to President Trump and switched gears on their critiques of the President’s support of a border funding deal, “The Five” co-host Jedediah Bila dug in her heels on Wednesday.

She lambasted Trump for floating fantasies, like “Mexico is going to pay for the wall,” that won’t work out and disappoint his base. She then suggested that if he puts his John Hancock on the compromise bill, the month-long shutdown he forced over his border wall funding demands will have been for nothing.

Ann Coulter can't be happy about this.
