Everyone including me was apoplectic over President Trump’s full-throated endorsement of Lindsey Graham for his 2026 Senate race. What was POTUS thinking? Graham is a RINO, a war hawk. This man hates MAGA.
Lindsey Graham said Trump-supporters embrace “demagoguery,” called MAGA “bats--- crazy,” said Trump’s foreign policy is “gibberish,” that Trump doesn’t have the “temperament or judgment” to be president.
Then Graham lined up with the real January 6 insurgents (Democrats) and attacked MAGA as violent. He tried to implicate President Trump in the alleged “insurrection.” He said, “Those responsible for Capitol security, including our political leaders, must also be held accountable” and followed that up by blaming Trump for “a self-inflicted wound” and said that “his actions were the problem, not the solution.”
Graham in no way represents patriots in this country. So why did President Trump come out with this glowing endorsement for him? Well, let’s try to look at POTUS’s position from a 10,000-foot view.

Bottom line: POTUS is literally up against the world, his administration under constant attack from all sides. Just to put America back on track is a herculean task that President Trump has willingly taken on.
So how does all this relate to the incomprehensible endorsement of Lindsey Graham? Graham is a minuscule piece of the puzzle, insignificant in the long run.
And I’m sure POTUS has his reasons. Maybe Graham really is President Trump’s friend, though that argument strains credulity. Or maybe the endorsement was the art of the deal. Or it could just be the only practical move at this point.
Fact: Senator Graham is there at least until Jan 2027, even if he loses in 2026. Now, POTUS could refuse to endorse him and live with another enemy in the Senate for the next nine months

Graham is our new McCain.
Agreed. I’m no fan of Grahmnesty
Graham says/does whatever butters his bread on a particular day, and can be used temporarily, but not trusted. Trump sees this, and is playing Graham to his advantage. Graham is arguably more useful and predictable than someone with principles.
Apparently Trump and Lindseed play golf together all the time. I don’t get it but....
Graham is chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
He is who gets to score various plans upcoming for Reconciliation. A basic rule of Reconciliation is that a bill cannot add to the deficit or it cannot be voted on via Reconciliation, per the parliamentarian.
So Graham has, so far, chosen to score the bills upcoming as not increasing the deficit (even though they will) and Trump must have that conclusion or the bill has to face the 60 vote filibuster constraint.

From article:
"We may not know why, but we can be sure he’s not turning on us, not one of them. His sole focus is now and has always been to take our country back, to Make America Great Again."
“The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom”.
