President Donald Trump reflected on his friendship with the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., during a eulogy at the Washington National Cathedral. Trump recounted how their relationship evolved from fierce political foes to close allies and friends.
An Unlikely Friendship
The turning point in their relationship came after Trump publicly revealed Graham’s cell phone number during a live television appearance in 2016. Trump acknowledged this decision was a mistake, but it ultimately led to the beginning of their friendship. Graham became a leading advocate for Trump’s legislative agenda, and the two developed a close bond over the years.
Trump and Graham’s friendship grew to include frequent rounds of golf and late-night phone calls. Since Graham’s death, Trump has repeatedly spoken about the senator’s constant presence in his life. The Washington National Cathedral became a gathering place for those who knew and worked with Graham, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
