With Trump, to hell with mercy — just ask confused, caged children at the border, or 230,000 dead Americans — it's the quality of loyalty that is, at best, strained. I have yet to read of even one business associate, capital investor or, now, political supporter who hasn't had his or her trust in Trump returned by anything but a treacherous kick in the butt. The Daily Beast:
"Trump … has not visited South Carolina to support his erstwhile ally, and likely will not before the Nov. 3 election, when [Sen. Lindsey] Graham faces Democrat Jaime Harrison. A former chair of the state’s Democratic Party, Harrison entered the race a long shot but has turned the Senate contest into a toss-up race, after raising a record $100 million sum for his campaign from a national liberal base that detests Graham."
Lindsey has dishonored himself in every Trump-supportive manner since 2016. And now his groveling, shameless opportunism and almost historic hypocrisy have his little ones in a vice. But Trump knows S.C. is a lock in his favor in the presidential race. So Senator, go blow. You're on your own.
And this time, for once, the victim deserves Trump's self-centered abuse.
