Graham and Trump's Unsteady Alliance | Charleston News
Description
Lindsey Graham and Donald Trump’s relationship was a rollercoaster of betrayal, breakups, and comebacks—starting with Graham’s fiery 2016 criticism, including calling Trump’s candidacy “being shot in the head” and smashing flip phones after a leaked number, to his dramatic 2021 exit after January 6, only to swiftly return as Trump’s most loyal GOP ally. Their bond deepened over golf, with over 100 hours on the course, and Graham became a key foreign policy advisor—especially on Israel, Ukraine, and Iran—often pushing hawkish stances even when Trump leaned inward. Despite their tumultuous history, Graham’s political survival and the GOP’s future made him Trump’s indispensable partner.
