Donald Trump was asked if the Russians had ‘poisoned’ Lindsey Graham and his answer said so much more about Trump than it did Graham

As you may very well have seen elsewhere, Lindsey Graham, the US senator and key ally of Donald Trump, has died aged 71.

We mention it because Trump was interviewed on the right-winger’s right-wing news channel, Newsman, where he was asked about the possibly that Graham had been poisoned by the Russians during a visit to Ukraine.

No, it’s not a theory we’ve read either

And ‘Doctor’ Trump’s response was just as illuminating as you’d expect.

Graham died of an “aortic dissection” caused by cardiovascular disease, just in case you were wondering, and these people surely said it best.

1.

Describing an Aorta Dissection as a “part of his body that…blew up” is a very 5-year old way of understanding.

It’s like they told him “Aorta Dissection” and then had to break it down until he understood. He didn’t understand until the doc just said his artery exploded.

does this loser have any filter? I can’t believe he hasn’t confessed to half of his crimes because he can’t keep his mouth shut.

Trump doesn’t understand exactly what happened to Lindsey. Trump doesn’t understand how things work.

A dissecting aorta is not part of your body blowing up.

You know damn well that is how they had to explain it to him though.

This is why he goes for his ‘cognitive test’ every other month. https://t.co/9TKLDGNJox
