Lindsey Graham was a dedicated Donald Trump supporter, so when he died in July 2026, it was only natural for Trump to make a post about him on Truth Social.

Instead, he made a pretty straightforward but cold statement about the senator’s death.

But who’s going to tell Donald Trump and his besties that no one is planning to donate? Well, maybe “no one” is a little strong.
