Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) published – and immediately deleted – a post on social media Tuesday sharing details of a conversation he had moments earlier with President Donald Trump who, according to Graham, was absolutely furious over his pleas for other countries to aid his Iran war effort being largely ignored.

“Just spoke to President Trump about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America,” Graham wrote in a social media post on X Tuesday, a post that was deleted within minutes. “I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake.”

Not long after Trump first authorized strikes on Iran, the Middle East nation vowed to attack any sea vessels aligned with the United States and its allies attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows. Oil prices have skyrocketed as a result, reportedly sparking panic within the Trump administration and prompting Trump to call on other nations to support its war effort.

Those calls have mostly landed on deaf ears, however, and were met with “little in the way of immediate commitments,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. Trump’s apparent fury was shared by Graham, who wrote in his now-deleted social media post that the perceived snub from European nations made him “second guess the value” of U.S. alliances.

Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC just posted and deleted this:

Says he just got off the phone with Trump and that he’d “never heard him so angry in my life.”

Apparently Trump is fuming over other countries’ refusal to help get him out of the Strait of Hormuz fiasco he caused.

1. ;-{).......

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. What in hell did TSF expect?

The leaders of the countries he asked must have had enough of him after all the bashing and dick waving to prove what a big man he is.

[msongs]

3. bullies who treat people like dirt often do not get the responses they expected lol

[LakeVermilion]

4. Colin Powell:

"You break it, you own it."

TSF: I've never had to own anything I've broken before, why now."

Religion: We are all here for a purpose. You are an example to other asshats.

[erronis]

5. Poor Lindsey. Trying to pleasure the big boy only being told it ain't working.

Whats a fella (tio - means old man) to do?

[Pisces]

6. Nobody wants to get drawn into this quagmire

[GiqueCee]

7. Shut the fuck up, Lindsey, you oily little turd...

... after the way he's treated our former allies, who can blame them for telling that boorish pig to stuff it where the Sun don't shine? He is a disgrace to this country, and so are you. Not to mention that ANY naval action in such a confined space as the Strait of Hormuz is flat-out suicidal. Shithead knows that now, which is why he's trying to get other countries' service men and -women killed, and then screeching like a stuck hog when they turn their backs on him, as they have every right to do.
They're all going to feel the economic pain that Trump has foisted on the rest of the world, but there's no reason why they should shoulder the burden and the pain of wasting the lives of their citizens by subjecting them to inevitable failure. Shithead doesn't bother to say why he put nearly our entire fleet of minesweepers in dry dock when he claims that he knew the Iranians would mine the Strait. A third-grader knew it, but I seriously doubt that shithead ever thought that far ahead. That evil fuck couldn't tell the truth about the time of day.
So this is what the inside of a wood chipper looks like, huh?

[democratsruletheday]

29. solid post GC....Graham is such an utter shit stain

I can't think of anyone, except maybe Rubio who has his nose further up Trumpler's fat ass. Buncha pigs.

[delisen]

8. Astonishing Lack of Self Awareness by 2 grown men.

They both were in military schools where surely they were taught they had to clean up after themselves, cooperate, and not foul the nest.

Guess they never absorbed the reason why these are good things are ways to behave.

Europeans have spent 80 years leaning the benefits of working together, building joint decision-making capabilities, and acting together as equals to peacefully address a common threat.

Some people learn, some people do not.

[thought crime]

16. He's begging for help in an illegal war he started without consulting them.

Sorry, Donald, but for some reason NATO is now intensely focused on Polar Security and has no time for you. It still hasn't occurred to Trump that his next step should be to work with the United Nations Security Council.

[FakeNoose]

18. The worst part of this is that Chump has no friends, and he doesn't realize that HE's the REASON why

He has slapped every one of our former Allies in their faces, insulted them, mean-tweeted them, charged them tariffs, and whatever else he's done to destroy relationships. Chump is completely oblivious to all of this.

But THEY AREN'T! They can't wait for Chump to be removed from office.

[BattleRow]

30. These countries are not victims of repeated domestic abuse

the way Americans are,and have been, at the hands of the unmerciful machinations of the Trump regime...by all its various entities and divisions.

[LoisB]

9. I think IT is finding out that the only people afraid of him are the Congressional Republicans.

[chowder66]

12. I doubt the majority of them are afraid. I think they are happily enabling and even directing him.

They probably just tell the democrats they are afraid to avoid the blame and shame.

[LoisB]

23. Could be.

[Solly Mack]

10. Fucking idiots

[twodogsbarking]

11. Trump says fuck you. Then he says unfuck you. Then he says help me and fuck you.

[thought crime]

13. Then gets angry when they tell him to go fuck himself.

[durablend]

14. They can both go fuck themselves

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Europe needs to arm itself

The Us is a very real threat to them now.

[popsdenver]

34. Agreed

Why should Europe waste ANY of their Military Resources..........they are smart enough that they may need them to defend their own country against Putin's aggression........

Hell.....If the U.S. Navy says NO WAY.......Why would any other country go in there............

[cab67]

17. Like I said a couple of days ago -

it's the stupidity, stupid.

Trump spent much of his first term and a lot of his second treating America's allies like dirt. He's insulted, disrespected, and offended them. He's treated them as a burden more than an asset.

He then starts a war (with Israel, our only ally to think this was a good idea) with a country whose military infrastructure, though minuscule compared with ours, is substantial compared with those of the countries we've attacked since the Gulf War. Anyone with common sense and a map could see that Iran was going to attack US bases throughout the region. It was equally obvious that Iran would close off the Strait of Hormuz. It was so obvious, it might as well have been walking around on a beach wearing a neon sandwich board announcing its reality.

Apparently, people told Trump these things. He didn't think they'd happen, and the brainless wonders in his circle went along with it.

So what does he do now? Beg those allies he's spent so much time bad-mouthing for help.

Never mind the fact that any naval vessel in that area would be highly vulnerable to attack. Never mind that the Strait of Hormuz is narrow enough to preclude naval escort of freighters and tankers. Never mind that Old Colostomy didn't try to build a coalition before the attacks started. I have issues with both Presidents Bush, but they at least made the pretense of trying diplomacy before starting something stupid, and the elder Bush was even successful at it. Trump? We don't need allies. Except that we do. To help win the war that's already been won.

In the future, the definition of "incompetence" in the dictionary will be accompanied by a picture of Trump.

May his presidential portrait never be displayed at the White House. That would besmirch the building and all it's represented.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. "May his presidential portrait never be displayed at the White House."

There might not even be a "White House" left standing in the next couple years as he seems to be in the process of pretty much tearing it down and replacing it with an "extension" to his ballroom. He's already mused about ripping out 200 year old columns on the facade to replace with junk. We saw what happened with the East Wing.

There is still an "original" President's House - dubbed the "Germantown White House" (where George Washington stayed during the yellow fever outbreak) here in Philly in the Germantown neighborhood -

[Queso Delicioso]

20. Cool, maybe he'll stroke out from rage.

[2naSalit]

24. One can hope!

[dickthegrouch]

21. When someone puts their hand in your pocket, without permission, it's normally called theft.

Rump unilaterally deciding to invade other countries, then asking for backup, is no different.

[Skittles]

22. aaaaaaand the blame-shifting has already started

it's not TRUMP'S fault for getting us into this mess, it's THEIR fault for not volunteering to help bail him out!

[BootinUp]

25. Graham and Trump with their kabuki theater bullshit can fuckoff nt

[BigmanPigman]

26. Is Lindsey dead yet? What about Mitch?

These flying monkeys should have kicked it and gone home to Satan years ago.

[Martin68]

27. Oops! Posted a photo of the Emperor with no clothes on? Gosh, Lindsey, try to keep up!

[MW67]

28. Lindsey was told

To get them Flourshims back on and toe the line! What the hell Lindsey? You are a Republican United States Senator, you of all people should know to never tell out the truth about what Trump says in private ! Gotta go refill my beverage and make more popcorn

[Aussie105]

31. When someone does the bluff and bluster thing . . .

but you decide whatever happens if you call the bluff is better than toeing the line, you get this.

Trump never learnt that bluff and bluster have limitations.

Where to now Donald?

He will either escalate his hate & disappointment speech until he blows a fuse, or fall asleep when his blood pressure meds kick in.

32. One conservative on substack posts

ALLIES IN NAME ONLY: THE DAY THE WORLD LEFT AMERICA TO DEFEND ITSELF

Yeah, all-caps. Here's the short of it.

Emphasis is mine. (Not THAT kind of mine 💣 )

In March 2026, Donald Trump formally called on allied nations to help keep open one of the most critical shipping lanes on Earth. The response from countries like Australia, Japan and Americas NATO allies was not cautious cooperation but outright refusal. This was not ambiguity or delay; it was a clear decision to stand aside. The consequences of that refusal extend far beyond politics and strike at the heart of global security.

What makes this refusal, so staggering is the simplicity of the request. The United States did not ask for boots on the ground, an invasion force, or regime change commitments. It asked for naval assistance—escort ships, deterrence, mine sweepers and presence—to keep international waters open.

Translation: Trump wants "allies" to sacrifice their lives for HIS (Trumpanyahu's) war.

Allies that he called "shithole", slapped ludicrous tariffs on, and threatened more at any lack of fealty. Includes invasion and occupation.

For weapons of mass destruction? No, wespons of mass distraction.

People arestanding up to him. Murder at home and abroad of innocent civilians is the last straw.

He is "seeing things"

[tclambert]

33. Hey, Donny, maybe they're just not that into you.

[MustBeTheBooz]

35. Alliances made on the idea of defense, not offense!

… European nations made him “second guess the value” of U.S. alliances.

Our alliances never promised to be the bullies.
FU Graham!

[VanceFan]

36. Good

Hope Trump strokes out.

[Takket]

37. How can he hear drumpf at all?

With his head buried in drumpf’s ass up to the neck?

[Marie Marie]

38. Each and every day, he is more obtuse and clueless than the day before.

He will never get how the world and human nature actually work outside of his false reality. And he calls Gavin Newsome "learning disabled". Idiot!

[Cha]

39. STFU, Lindsey... You know how the PEDO Bully

treats "allies"... So Shut UP.. who give a Shit.

[C Moon]

40. As is always, he ruins everything he touches. Get rid of the mf'r, gop. It's over!
