Donald Trump struck back at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who called him a “jackass” on CNN, bashing the senator for soliciting him for campaign cash years ago and announcing his telephone number to a full crowd.
“It’s amazing, he doesn’t seem like a very bright guy. He actually seems to me not as bright, obviously, as [former Texas Gov.] Rick Perry,” Trump said during a rambling speech Tuesday in front of retirees at Sun City, S.C.
“Didn’t this guy call me four years ago? Yes, he called me three or four years ago, Lindsey Graham, I didn’t even know who he was.”
After telling the crowd that Graham had called him to ask for a good reference to be on Fox News and to see if he could come visit Trump to receive some campaign cash, Trump held up a sheet of paper with a telephone number on it that he said was Graham’s.
D.J. Judd, a producer at CBS News, tweeted that CBS confirmed that the number was Lindsey Graham’s cell number.
Earlier in his speech, Trump said of Graham, "I see your senator — what a stiff, what a stiff — Lindsey Graham — he’s registered zero in the polls" and later called him a "lightweight."
Graham accused Trump of “becoming a jackass at a time when we need to have a serious debate about the future of the party and the country,” during an interview Monday on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

Amen brother.
Not even close.
That's completely ridiculous in the dictionary definition of the word.
Worthy of ridicule.
Oh, I'm certain Linseed has taken it a time or two! :-)
I meant it totally sarcastically, I agree with it being ridiculous!
Graham too a baseball bat to his phone. I’d be willing to bet it’s a government provided phone. That is destruction of government property. I hope Trump thinks of this.
