President Donald J. Trump reflected on the life
and legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham following his sudden passingthis
weekend. Speaking in several interviews, President Trump spoke of his
close friendship with the longtime Senator from South Carolina and heralded
Senator Graham’s sharp political instincts, his courage in important moments,
and his deep commitment to the country.
President
Trump describedthe
loss as deeply personal: “He’s a tough one to lose. He was great
— he was unique in every way… I just can’t believe it. He was like a
member of the family to me. It’s very tough, actually. He was such an
advocate.”
President
Trump reflectedon
his final conversation with Senator Graham: “It’s devastating. I
thought he was fine. He called me last night… What a terrible loss it is.
He was a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them.
He was a natural politician. He got along with everybody.”
President
Trump singled
outSenator Graham’s passionate
defenseof Brett Kavanaugh as a standout Senate
moment: “I think his finest moment was his defense of Brett
Kavanaugh, who’s terrific guy and was treated very, very unfairly by the
Democrats… I think it was a top ten, maybe a top five, moment in the
history of the Senate. It was an incredible display, and he did it from
the heart. He felt strongly about Brett, and he did it from the heart —
and it turned that whole thing around.”
President
Trump praisedSenator
Graham’s political skill and ability to build relationships: “He
got along with everybody and yet, he was a tough cookie in a lot of ways.
Honestly, he was a great politician. People don’t realize what a good
politician he was… This man was a great politician. He really got it.”
President
Trump reflectedon
Senator Graham’s broader legacy: “We lost a great man. He was a
great man. He was a great politician, and he was a kind man… The real
loser was the United States of America. We lost a great person, a kind
person, a very smart person… Everything for him was about work. It was
about loving the country.”
As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding service of Senator Lindsey Graham, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until 6:00 p.m. on July 18, 2026. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half‑staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.
