President Trump calls-in to NBC Meet the Press to give his thoughts on the unexpected death of Senator Lindsey Graham.
According to President Trump he held a phone call with Senator Graham at approximately 7:00pm last night, and Graham noted he just returned from a trip to Ukraine and was a little tired. Moments later Graham apparently suffered a medical event and President Trump was informed of his death at around 1:00am ET. WATCH:

Scalia, Mitch McConnells sister-in-law (this was a weird one), now Lindsey. Messages sent.
What exactly are the messages they you suggest were sent? Do you care to opine, with facts, not supposition?
Or maybe Bersey could reword the post so it resembles something we might understand.
the message: old people die.
The Senate is one great big old folks home.
More than half of the Senators are 70 or older. 24 of them are over 80.
People of that age who are in a high pressure job filled with corruption, and who are engaged in “colorful” lifestyles, would naturally be susceptible to sudden death.
We should not be surprised when these corrupt geezers suddenly croak.
Yet Madame Polident never dies.
She’s already embalmed with “Tito’s”
More like Madame “Where’s My Polident?” 😀
Hubby is probably using it in his latest kinky SF hobo escapade.
Yet they seldom do die. Very few, and they are usually in their 80-90s.
They have Cadillac Health Care at taxpayer expense! From the day they are sworn in til the day they pass away!
Especially if they were “good citizens” and took the C-vax.
Didn’t miss Lindsey replace strom Thurman?
I really don’t want to hear nimradda’s GOPe hold your nose and vote for libtard policies lectures for the next 6 years.
But, isn’t that what Miss Lindsey gave us with his support for Obama, biteme judges?
Anybody ever figure out who the unknown persons were that Scalia flew down to Cibolo Creek Ranch, Shafter, Texas, with were?
Anybody ever figure out why there was no autopsy?
Official report – he was smothered by a possessed bed pillow.
Your comment is exactly the reason that I Liked the comment by Bersey.
Q joins the fray

@StephenM
At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”
I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.
–SNIP —
The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.
Read full statement…
To help anchor the point…
I had relentlessly criticized Lindsay Graham for years when I was removed from the ballot in 2022. At the time the most recent polling had me soundly winning the race for Congress.
Lindsay Graham got my phone number and called me wanting to contribute $ to my lawsuit to get back on the ballot, despite my criticism, and said it was unAmerican that people wouldn’t get the chance to vote for me.
I’m sure he would’ve voted for someone else if he lived in the district but still, he wanted people to get to vote for who they wanted to vote for and ultimately, for people told decide the election instead of a dozen people in a back room.
Ultimately the lawsuit didn’t restore my name on the ballot (the back room won) but I was always perplexed and moved by him doing that because he knew what I had publicly said about him and he knew I was more right wing than him. Still, he wanted to help fix it.
He even offered to call SEC members who had voted to remove my name from the ballot. For all my foreign policy criticism of Lindsay, this was a totally genuine/non-cynical offer. I told him I wouldn’t stop criticizing his foreign policy and he laughed, saying he wouldn’t count on it.
Lots of people do things for cynical/bad reasons in DC but he genuinely just wanted to help because he saw it as totally wrong to steal that choice from voters. It showed me a side of him I hadn’t seen or imagined. So, yeah, Lindsay Graham was a man of complexities.
Also incredibly cool he adopted his sister after his parents died and managed all of that as a young man.
I sincerely hope no state actor was involved in his death because that’s the last thing the world needs BUT it must be fully investigated since he was very active in both the Russia and Iran conflicts. Especially since he just left Ukraine. Wishing peace and God’s love to his family!

According to President Trump Senator Graham was also pushing the Save America Act hard enough to get it passed. I’m very suspicious of his sudden tragic death just before that effort culminates in a vote.
The Senator had just completed a lengthy plane flight from Ukraine. However, I was reading online that there are no commercial flights directly out of UKR due to the war.
That a person must travel first to somewhere like Moldova, and take a flight from there.
The distance from Kyiv to Washington, DC is just under 5,000 miles… but due to the need to fly out of Moldova (or another hub)… the total travel time from UKR to IAD (Washington, DC) is anywhere from 18 to 24 hours.
Having flown long distance flights myself, ranging from 15 hours per leg to a total of far more than 24 hours from departure to destination… the danger of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) becomes a real possibility. You’re encouraged to get up and move… or do some leg exercises while sitting… so blood doesn’t pool in your lower extremities.
Prolonged immobility exacerbates the problem.
For a 71-year old man who’s overweight, doesn’t get much exercise, maybe had a few drinks, doesn’t get enough rest… and doesn’t get up and move enough during that journey… the chances of developing DVT must increase greatly.
If you recall, NBC reporter David Bloom died of a pulmonary embolism caused by DVT during the 2003 Iraq War (Gulf War 2) due to extended time spent in cramped
armored vehicles. Bloom was only 39.
Someone such as Graham – who has traveled extensively – may dismiss such concerns because they do it all the time. However, just because you’ve played Russian Roulette a dozen times… doesn’t mean your number won’t finally come up.
from this ??..Lindsey Graham: If we nominate Trump,we will get destroyed….and we will deserve it..05/13/16 ..to bromance all over in the WH ????not wander where we are since June 2025…..
I remember when Andrew Breitbart dropped dead of a heart attack that came out of the blue… just saying…
That’s how it generally happens.
Common diseases commonly occur.
As in, What are the chances of someone in the age range and the physical condition of someone like Andrew Breitbart dying of a heart attack while walking?
Here may be found the last words of Lindsey Graham:
“He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaarrrrggh”.
(Just adding more fuel to the conspiracy fire😎)
Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to carve ‘aarrggh’. He’d just say it!
Spit my Coffee
SHAME on You !
…perhaps he was dictating.
I find the cynicism here disappointing and short-sighted. I respect that graham was air force until age 59 and adopted his baby sister when his parents died…
God bless senator Graham’s family at this time of loss.
also that graham took a blow torch to dems during the character assassination of kavanaugh’s nomination…
I can seriously respect and admire what he did for his sis. but lets be real about military (i.e. government ) service. its necessary, but no one’s doing it without pay and bennies. and in that situiation, if it comes down between a choice between your natural rights and someones pay and bennies, your rights are not going to have a strong chance. lets not kid ourselves. thats how it is.
And I’m sure theres some good military service people here. My point is not to denigrate or devalue you or the time and work you put in including risk to life. If I’m wrong, I want to know it and why.
… Lindsey: “Its the best money we’ve ever spent.”
Had no problem publicly stating Putin should be assassinated.
Hopefully, Gov. McMaster will appoint someone all-in on passing the SAVE America Act. McMaster has been a vocal Trump supporter from Day 1.
From what I have read Governor McMaster is more of a Conservative Republican than most of the RINOs in the North Carolina Legislature. They overruled the Governor on Re-Districting the state, so I think he will do the right thing for President Trump.

Pointing fingers at Russia could also be a false flag — designed to provoke ire and possibly WWIII . . .

🚨 UPDATE: Vice President JD Vance reveals he got into a shouting match with Lindsey Graham while in the Senate — then, the very next day, learned Graham was pushing legislation very important to Vance behind the scenes
“That was Lindsey Graham. He fought like hell for the things he believed in, and he was just as willing to go to bat for you when it counted.” 🇺🇸
Cont…
“Lindsey Graham’s father died at age 69 of a heart attack. Lindsey Graham was 71. Heart disease has a strong genetic component.”….
7:48 p 7/12/26 Aortic dissection seems to be the cause – just read. Very sad, very deadly. RIP
I find something funny.
When Thune and that CNN guy tell us the turtle spoke to them, I am very suspicious.
When Trump tells us Lindsey called him, I believe it 100%.
Wonder if Lindsay Graham had the vaccine and maybe a booster or two? Or maybe someone in Ukraine put something in his food or drink? 🤔
Here is the 911 Dispatch call: cardiac arrest
https://x.com/STATter911/status/2076228816276447387
“This is the second time within a month that the DC Fire & EMS Department was dispatched to the Capitol Hill home of a Republican U.S. Senator reported to be in cardiac arrest.”
…
“The radio traffic from OpenMHz.com indicates that the 911 caller last night was a woman in Baltimore.”
🤔
”According to President Trump he held a phone call with Senator Graham at approximately 7:00pm last night, and Graham noted he just returned from a trip to Ukraine and was a little tired. Moments later Graham apparently suffered a medical event …..” For some who read this statement, they could conclude that Trump’s conversation may have precipitated his death.
U Can Dance?

The Lord works in strange ways….imagine that Lindsey Graham’s final gift in this life, was a telephone conversation with the President. While I didn’t always agree with his politics, I felt that Graham would be a presence that would be around forever. He was an American ‘institution’ and will be sorely missed. RIP Lindsey Graham.
Some may be given a choice. Pay for their crimes in the public forum, with trials and prison…or go another route. In either case their time comes to a close.
Lindsey Graham at the Kavanaugh hearing:
My apologies. I thought it was the entire speech…..
Here, hopefully this is the full response from Graham at Kavanaugh’s hearing:
Many are a-skeered of Occam’s Razor. I think Mrs. Sunshine summed it up most logically in the initial posting about his death:
“He 71, overweight, heavy drinker, “vaccinated”, flies a lot in pressurized cabins for long periods of time, has a warmonger’s guilty conscience causing constant elevated cortisol levels. ”
A cardiac or deep vein “event” is not out of the realm of possibility at all.
“He was no Nancy Pelosi or Marjorie Taylor Greene.
He spent 23 years in office.
If anyone could have gotten fat rich off defense contracts, it was him.
He actually never abused the insider track.”….
Does anyone have the videoclip/campaign ad of Graham driving his cellphone off the tee with his golf club after Trump read out Graham’s cellphone number during a MAGA rally during the 2016 campaign? That was a good one.
I thought I remembered he dropped the phone into a margarita blender?
It was very obvious Senator Graham was not well. He had inflammation that was obvious, his weight was unhealthy, and I doubt his diet was very good. He probably ate out a lot.
He looked like a walking heart problem waiting to happen. Once you notice someone’s inflammation, it is hard to unsee.
Of all the people President Trump could have had this conversation with, he chose HER ?!!! Ugh
As trump says graham likeed his job. i think we will all be served better by people that dont really want to be there, but rather choose to do so out of sense of duty.
Condolences to those that loved him.
Kristin is such a pathetically dramatic actress in her questiong of the prez. I am sure she had to bite her tongue each time she wanted to break in with another leading question and He just kept on speaking. Would not doubt he has had her number for a long time and was doing it on purpose.
For all the conspiracy theorists: Chinese scientists have proven out a way to chemically cause Aortic Dissection (the officially reported cause of Lindsey Graham’s death)
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12426159/ (Aug 29, 2025)
A case of aortic dissection caused by poisoning by overtaking licorice tablets was reported. The patient’s medical history, laboratory examination, imaging results, and treatment process were analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.
This case suggests that licorice poisoning is a potential risk factor for aortic dissection, which needs to be paid attention to in clinical practice. In the face of acute poisoning, in addition to paying attention to the conventional treatment measures of acute poisoning, we should pay more attention to the pharmacological mechanism of drugs and their induced complications to avoid subjective judgment and reduce misdiagnosis and abuse.
Keywords: liquorice, glycyrrhizic acid, aortic dissection, poisoning, pseudohyperaldosteronism
I’m not saying that’s what happened. But it could be theoretically possible. Hopefully that is something the tox reports should check for.
Other types of poisons, or anything causing a sudden surge of blood pressure, have also been linked to aortic ruptures.
Drugs that can cause this include phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors used in chemotherapy, eg. sorafenib, sunitinib and bevacizumab. Als abrupt discontinuation of antihypertensive drugs known to cause rebound hypertension after cessation of therapy, such as beta-blockers, may also cause aortic dissection.
Amphetamines, including methamphetamine and other phenylethylamines can also lead to aortic dissections, and based on the fact that any drug that can dangerously increase blood pressure, seems to have this serious side effect.
Coming at this from President Trump’s side, you have to wonder how he feels having talked to Senator Graham after he arrived home then a few hours later, probably awakened from his sleep to be told that Senator Graham was dead. That had to be a real shock.
