President Donald Trump paid tribute to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham during a funeral service Tuesday at Washington National Cathedral. Trump described how the two Republicans went from bitter rivals during the 2016 presidential campaign to close political allies and friends. He recalled publicly sharing Graham’s cellphone number at a 2015 rally after the senator called him a “jack*ss,” acknowledging that the move had been a mistake. Trump then recited the old number again during the eulogy, joking that Graham ultimately had the last laugh.
“While I blew up his phone for one day, Lindsey did not stop calling me for the next 10 years,” Trump said.
Their friendship later included frequent golf outings and late-night calls, while Graham became one of Trump’s most prominent supporters in the Senate. Graham, a South Carolina Republican who became an influential voice on foreign policy, died earlier this month at 71. #DonaldTrump #LindseyGraham #USPolitics #WashingtonDC #NationalCathedral
