Trump Feels 'Not Great' After Lindsey Graham's Sudden Death

Donald Trump declared, "I don't feel great," in the wake of Lindsey Graham's death. Graham succumbed to a "brief and sudden illness" on July 11th, just after returning from an official trip to Ukraine.

This news follows Mitch McConnell's absence from the Senate due to injuries sustained from a fall and a mild pneumonia diagnosis, which led him to quash rumors about his own demise.

Questions about Trump's health loom large as images surfaced showing bruising on his hands and swelling around his ankles.

During a call to Fox News, Trump paid tribute to Graham, stating, "I don’t feel great. He was a great guy, he was a friend. He would call me all the time, I’d say, ‘Stop calling me Lindsey!’ He was amazing. He just didn’t stop. And he would be... he was a worker."

Trump characterized Graham as a "total workaholic politician," noting that while some might dismiss his efforts as mere chatter, "everybody loved him."

He added, "He was good on the other side. If I had Democrat problems, he could solve them. He was a man of all different abilities, actually."

Trump reminisced about Graham's love for golf, saying, "He loved playing golf and being outside. He’d play golf with people and you... You just liked him. It wasn’t that he was a great striker of the ball; he wasn’t Jack Nicklaus, he was not Tiger [Woods]. He loved it, and he had fun. He was a man who had a lot of fun."

He continued, "He had fun with politics, but he was really good at it. And then when he got angry, as he did in the case of Brett Kavanaugh, I think it saved the, er, Brett coming to justice."

Social media erupted with reactions to Trump's comments, with many users questioning why he displayed more emotion for Graham than for Charlie Kirk, who was recently assassinated.

One user remarked, "When asked for his comments about how he's doing after Charlie's assassination... he replied 'I think very good and by the way right there you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House.'"

Another user expressed confusion: "How does he have this reaction for Lindsey and not Charlie? You’ve totally lost me @POTUS. You are not who I thought you were."
