Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.

The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

    Lindsay, you stupid whore, did you not see his post? He is literally Jesus Christ. That is who he is to you, anyway, and any other followers of his.

    (to everyone else, he is simply a doctor)

      God is a notorious egomaniac who’s committed multiple genocides, glassed middle eastern cities, knocked up a teenager who was someone else’s fiancé, sent his goons to threaten her fiancé to accept his cucking, then dipped on child support and let his kid get torture-killed. Hate to say it, Lindsay is correct; Trump is a very God-like man.

    If he not that far behind God, I’m not sure I like that God. That’s not the God I was taught about.

      I maintain that based one his behavior since then that Lindsay Graham had to have done something like murdered someone(probably a child) in the middle of a sexual act or something like that, his 180 is too jarring for the dirt to not be the most atrocious

        He should have been voted out in a primary a while ago, this is all just to not show off how he’s not actually a modern republican.

      And for a final year, we have a season of the boys that was so absurd when it was written, you’re shocked anyone greenlit it, only for the Trump admin to make it look like a normal thing.

    These dinosaur politicians see Trump as a benefit the same way CEOs see AI as a money machine. They don’t care what the mechanisms are, or what has to be abandoned/contradicted to use it. They want “number go up.”

    And that’s why we need new folks in Washington (and fewer CEOs).

      Primaries typically have low turnout. Working people have a harder time getting out to vote so it’s the old and determined racists/homophobes/etc who cast the sway, usually.
