The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Trump delivered a genuinely moving and funny eulogy for Lindsey Graham, capturing the real friendship between two men who began as rivals. The moment about Graham calling Trump nonstop for a decade after the phone number stunt showed authentic warmth. These were fantastic remarks that honored Graham the way a true friend would.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump turned Lindsey Graham's funeral into a self-serving spectacle, going off-script to make the eulogy about himself and even suggesting Graham might have gone to hell. Before Graham was even buried, Trump was making the Sunday show rounds to push a voter suppression bill. Graham deserved better than to have his death exploited for political gain.
