Who could\u2014if he was unhappy with you, he would take it out on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>He continued, \u201cBehind this, there was this thing. So Lindsey Graham was\u2014I don\u2019t think that there\u2019s anybody in Washington at any informed level who was not aware that Lindsey Graham was gay, but Lindsey Graham was also in the closet. This was also a discussion within the Trump circle. So this was very known. And what did that mean to Donald Trump? You know, I\u2019m not sure that it meant anything more to Donald Trump than [that] he had something on Lindsey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two Republicans had a complicated relationship, and Graham went from harshly criticizing Trump to regularly golfing with him.<\/p>\n<p>Graham never married and had no children. His unexpected death was attributed to \u201cAortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,\u201d according to a preliminary examination cited by his office. <\/p>\n<p>An aortic dissection is a rare condition in which a tear occurs in the body\u2019s main artery. The Mayo Clinic says it \u201cisn\u2019t very common\u201d and \u201cusually happens in men in their 60s and 70s.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, meanwhile, is a condition where arteries become stiff and damaged, making it harder for blood to flow properly. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cLindsey Graham never said, \u2018I\u2019m gay, and if I don\u2019t suck up to Donald Trump, I\u2019m screwed.\u2019 Never. Of course, never anything like that,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cBut again, that sense of Donald Trump as this unknown, a constant variable, \u2018What is he going to do?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wolff added, \u201cEven now, I mean, 71 years old, and you haven\u2019t fessed up to this. I think Lindsey Graham obviously also knew the game. This is politics. This is power at a very high level. People will do anything to you. Nothing is off limits in this context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3530\">Dem Spills What MAGA Senators Really Say About Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House and Graham\u2019s staff did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, 80, appeared emotional about Graham\u2019s death, telling NBC\u2019s <i>Meet the Press<\/i><i>,<\/i> \u201cHe was like a member of the family to me. It\u2019s very tough, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!\u201d Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday. \u201cHe was always working and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump was not always such a good friend of Graham. In 2015, Graham did not mince words about his fellow candidate in the Republican presidential primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,\u201d Graham said of Trump. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t represent my party. He doesn\u2019t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But over the years, their relationship evolved into a friendship rooted in part in their shared love of golf\u2014though Wolff alleges that Graham was as much a suck-up as a true Trump pal, hoping to gain from his proximity to power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLindsey Graham was an absolute suck-up,\u201d Wolff said. \u201cI mean, embarrassing suck-up. And people within the Trump circle would joke about this, you know, if you needed somebody to reassure the president, you call Lindsey, Lindsey calls and tells the president, you know, \u2018Sir, you\u2019re fantastic.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He added, \u201cSucking up was not just the basic price of admission. It was the entire thing. That was what you had to do in order to get more access, in order to sustain access, in order for your access to be greater than anyone else\u2019s. It was just a question of how much sucking you were willing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3528\">Trump Obsession Becomes One Step Closer to Reality<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s volatility long spooked one of his closest Republican allies, his longtime biographer has claimed.
