Donald Trump chose Lindsey Graham’s eulogy to have an unprecedented attack of honesty at the senator’s expense
With friends like Donald Trump, the late Senator Lindsey Graham had absolutely no need for an enemy.
At the memorial for the South Carolina Republican, who died suddenly two weeks ago, Trump couldn’t keep his eyes open – and we don’t mean because he was so caught up in prayer.

Judging by the face of the man behind him, he may have been overdoing the baked beans.

Perhaps foolishly, they allowed the president to say the eulogy, and he veered from the time-honoured tradition of painting a flawless picture of the deceased.
Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second." pic.twitter.com/L5JwAXxWi0

It clearly offended Trump’s narcissistic little soul too much to make it seem as though somebody else were perfect. To be fair to him, it was a rare foray into honesty.

Lindsey sold whatever shreds of a soul he had to an evil asshole who couldn’t even manage to eulogize him kindly.

Imagine dying and Trump uses your funeral to workshop crowd material.

HOLY SHIT: Trump STOPS delivering Lindsey Graham’s eulogy because he doesn’t like its only about Graham.

Trump’s narcissism and need for attention is so off the hook that he is jealous of the corpse. https://t.co/SK8FZBH6mb

A eulogy for Lindsey Graham apparently had one fatal flaw: it was about Lindsey Graham.
So, Trump stopped reading and went off-script. Even in death, Graham couldn't get five uninterrupted minutes in the spotlight. That's a hell of a final insult. https://t.co/dt2QgpmpJ3

Who SAYS that at a memorial?! He's out of his mind, out of his depth, and should be out of a job. https://t.co/ylWQ6AYD7m

With Trump appearing to be on rally territory, someone made this comment.
