Yes, Donald Trump gave everyone Lindsey Graham’s real cellphone number. And he’s not sorry.
Washington Post ^ | 7/21/15 | James Hohmann and Sean Sullivan

Donald Trump had Lindsey Graham's cellphone number. So now the rest of the country does, too.

Trump, the real estate mogul whose brash campaign has quickly alienated most of his primary opponents and the head of the Republican National Committee, sharpened his attacks on Graham during a campaign appearance Tuesday in the senator's home state of South Carolina, raising the volume on his criticism of his fellow 2016 presidential candidate — and broadcasting Graham's cellphone number, so others could personally do the same.

At an event here, Trump claimed that Graham called him a few years ago to ask for money and to get a reference to appear on the show “Fox and Friends.”

"I am saying to myself, 'What's this guy, a beggar?'" said Trump, before reading his number to the crowd.

You do know that Graham has been attacking Trump—after having begged him for money and a reference, right?

Trump even said he wasn’t sure the number was correct. He said it was 3 or 4 years old. If I’m not mistaken, the area code is in D.C. So, I’m not sure it’s his personal number, but, the one he uses in Washington. Who cares? These weasels will learn to shut their mouths and stop piling on Trump - they end up on the losing end of the stick. They seem to get away with calling him names, etc., so when he fights back - everyone gets a faux outrage going. Trump is trying to wake up the people of SC who keep voting this loser into office.

Go watch the video and see the context he did it in.

Linda asked for it by calling Trump a “jackass”.

Trumps not pulling “tricks”...he’s sending signals clearly to those who in his mind unjustly bad mouth him...”you play this game...I got the goods and will deliver them”..

Politicians do likewise, behind closed doors, Trumps simply showing the game in full view of the audience...regardless if we like or not how he’s doing so.

I say again...let him role....he’s exposing and talking a talk few dare to walk themselves.

“What a childish trick! Trump shows his azz more every day.”

Every day he gets on the news networks.
I wish Cruz would make a few waves like this.
This is just the scud missle of the day I was talking about yesterday.

I think it’s hilarious. Husband thinks it’s hilarious. Mean. But Funny.

Every football season, our Bama quarterbacks have to deal with opponents handing out their phone numbers. It is just a way to unnerve opponents.

May not look good at home because his cell phone was a 202 (DC) area code.

That's a jackass move, and I wouldn't expect anything less. Graham sucks for his votes, but I'll take out my issues with him at the polls.

No Graham. No Trump.

Oh where is your sense of humor?

Lindsay gets a government issue phone and a government issue cell number. The phone gets government issue fixed in less time than the blink of an eye.

And Trump— well, he gets even.

Trump will eventually go down, but he’ll take all the milquetoasts with him.

Don’t you mean let him roll? I agree, these elitists probably say horrible things about we the people and others behind closed doors. Trump is just laying it out there for the common folk. If the GOPe can’t take the heat, then they need to stay out of the kitchen. Everyone of these turds have gone to Trump wanting contributions - every last one of them - and he gave. They now have the audacity to stab him in the back? Remember, if he loses, and goes back to private life - he still has lots of money to throw around. He’ll shut them out, but, they are too stupid to understand that.

Trump in 3 weeks has done more for this country, veterans and American citizens than the government has done since Reagan....

What, exactly, has Donald done for veterans?

Dear jimbo123,

It's irrelevant.

When dammocraps reveal personal information about our guys, we point out how fundamentally indecent that is, and we condemn them. When liberals reveal stuff like conservatives’ tax filings, we condemn them. We condemn the punks in principle when they do this sort of ugly thing to our folks. Just because folks like Donald Trash, he's given a pass? I don't think so. This was evil. Let's not be hypocrites. I don't like Lindsay Graham. But I can't abide by this sort of behavior. It is lawless, and I've had enough of lawless presidents. I'm not interested in a Republican version of Obama.

Linda Graham is a public figure. If he does something inexcusable, like calling a fellow Republican a “jackass”, he needs to hear from the people how low that was. Giving out his office number is useless - his staff answers it, not him. Emailing him is useless - he will never personally read them. Giving out his cell number was the best avenue for the folks to let Linda know how much they don’t like people who back stab their fellow Republicans. While he will only actually take a handful of the calls, at least he will know that such crap talk has consequences.

Wrong. Our side needs to fight dirty.

If it weren’t for Trump and his dirty fighting, this wouldn’t be happening:

Just what he did today....set up a phone call base and emails so that the VETERANS can tell HIM what they need, more than what your RINO friends or your MUSLIM President has done....what about you, what have you done????
