Trump recalls friendship, spats in eulogy for Lindsey Graham

Politico · back to the audit

To President Donald Trump, who eulogized the late Sen. Lindsey Graham Tuesday afternoon, the longtime lawmaker from South Carolina was a good friend, a once maligned rival presidential candidate, a decorated statesman and a vital ally when it counted. The president commemorated Graham, who died earlier this month due to a heart issue, in a speech at the National Cathedral in Washington, D. C., that sought to portray him as a titan of the Senate. ... The president, whose political image as an anti-war isolationist has come into question amid an unpopular war with Iran, celebrated Graham's hawkish stance toward foreign affairs, joking that the Air Force veteran 'never saw a war that he didn't like.'
