Lindsey Graham: I 'feel a lot better' about Syria pullout after lunch with Trump

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday he felt less concerned about President Trump pulling U.S. troops from Syria following a two-hour lunch with him at the White House.

"We had a great lunch. We talked about Syria and he told me some things that I didn't know that make me feel a lot better about where we're headed in Syria," Graham told reporters shortly after the meeting. "He promised to destroy ISIS. He's going to keep that promise. We're not there yet, but as I said today, we're inside the 10-yard line and the president understands the need to finish the job."

Graham is one of a plethora of lawmakers who opposed Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. military personnel from the war-torn country. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis resigned in part due to the announcement.

Graham, a former U.S. airman, said Sunday that Trump was taking the troop drawdown "seriously."

know they have all been compromised one way or another. That probably explains why they won't let a bill to protect Meuller come to the floor.

That this speculation was paranoid and ridiculous, but now???
There seemed to be a complete reversal of Graham’s opinion of and comments about Trump after he played a round of golf with him. Where better to make sure there is no chance of recording a conversation than in a moving golf cart?
Maybe all Trump had to do was tell Lindsey about the compromising material he had on him - either sexual in nature or something DT’s Russian pals gave him for leverage. That would explain a lot, especially since his conscience had died in Arizona about that same time.

... abortion on 5th avenue and his cult members would still blame Hillary.


It's Russian money and proof they knew about it, that would send them to jail and get the whole KGOP labeled as traitors possibly in their own cult member world

Frankly, he held out longer than I thought he would. Make no mistake Lindsey Graham is not going to stand up to Trump, there's kompromat on him too.

For some reason I thought LG would be on America’s side in the end. Of all the politicians I suspected of treason, I thought he would stand up up for his country. Goes to show, I am a poor judge of character. He really fooled me.
