Lindsey Graham finally tweeted - to praise Trump for saving Stars and Stripe from Pentagon defunding

Laughable. But it makes me wonder if Graham suggested the reversal to Trump, so his most craven supporters can praise him for this supposedly pro-military decision.

Three-tweet thread from Graham, starting here, full text below:






Glad to see that President @realDonaldTrump objects to the Pentagon's decision to defund Stars and Stripes, a valuable publication for military members and their families.


I know firsthand how important it is for military members and their families who are stationed far from home and, in many times, serving in hostile areas to have a touch of home.


This connection to the homeland is very valuable for our military members.

Stars and Stripes provides a valuable service to our men and women in uniform.

Well done, Mr. President.

in the first place? Could it because Dear Leader told them to do it? And he suddenly did a 180 only in a desperate attempt to mitigate the damage done by the Atlantic article?

Something made that guy go from hating Trump 4 years ago, to being a boot licker. I think when it comes out, it's going to be weird.
