Lindsey Graham: Trump Calls Himself a ‘Genius’ Because ‘Nobody Else Will’
LIKE, REALLY SMART
Asked to weigh in on President Donald Trump’s “very stable genius” tweet during an appearance on The View Monday morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) joked, “If he doesn’t call himself a genius, nobody else will.” Graham, who has been cozying up to the president of late, acknowledged the reversal that has occurred since the 2016 campaign when he called Trump a “xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot” and still got “beat like a drum” by the man who now sits in the Oval Office. “In my view, he is my president and he’s doing a really good job on multiple fronts,” the senator added, explaining that he does not believe Trump is a “xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot as president.” The president has been actively defending his own mental stability following the release of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury, which paints a damning picture to the contrary.
