NextImg:'This Is Pathetic': Lindsey Graham Ripped After 'Groveling' New Trump Message
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is catching hell from critics after suggesting that President Donald Trump could be the next pope.

Trump had jokingly floated the idea earlier in the day when asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff after the death earlier this month of Pope Francis.

“I’d like to be pope,” Trump said. “That’d be my No. 1 choice.”

Graham then dialed it up a notch in a post on X saying he was “excited” to hear that Trump was open to the role.

“This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!” wrote Graham, who is a Southern Baptist. “The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides. Watching for white smoke…. Trump MMXXVIII!”

That last bit is the Roman numeral for 2028.

Graham was likely joking as well, but his critics weren’t ready to offer any grace on this one.

They fired back:

This is pathetic. Graham is so addicted to being "friends" with the president that he will utterly strip himself of anything resembling dignity or pride. What an embarrassing existence. https://t.co/k1UIyBEvmv

Watching a once-independent politician grovel this way brings to mid an old story with new players:
Lindsey and Trump are in an elevator. Trump turns to Graham and says: "Lindsey, dud you just fart?"
"Why no, Mr. President," says Lindsay. 'Did you want me to?" https://t.co/L1GQI9fKUI

I had to verify with my own eyes that this was real. And I'm still thinking it can't be real. https://t.co/DdFTUVvL89

Seek help, Lindsey.

I don’t know which one is worse: if he is joking or he is serious.

This is a real post.

It’s amazing how far he’s fallen.

And continues to fall.

He’s a poster child for fealty. https://t.co/ENhZjtBQFh

Lindsey - get a grip. https://t.co/toePoQ6qeA

This isn’t funny. This isn’t cheeky. And I don’t think it’s even meant to be.

When Trump says jump, Lindsey jumps, kisses his feet, and sells him his soul. https://t.co/LGbWj7Xt6f

Is this a parody account?

I'm sure the senator thinks this is a fun joke but it is incredibly disrespectful of the Church, the billion-plus Catholics who are grieving for Francis and praying for the Holy Spirit's wisdom on the selection of the next Pope.

South Carolina is home… https://t.co/ldUypsrvK7

Graham is kidding of course and simply trolling. But here’s the thing, it shows how little they care about religion or God or the millions of Catholics mourning the death of the Pope. It’s an example of how shallow Lindsay is. Oh and Trump probably doesn’t realize it’s a joke. https://t.co/IoLJDL36hc

You’re a fucking United States Senator. Act like someone worthy of the title. https://t.co/gjFKoC0c2M

I saw a screenshot shot of this tweet and couldn't believe it was real. It's incredibly hard to argue against this being a cult. You know, because of the decades of documented idolatry, blasphemy, adultery, etc, on Trump's part. Graham claimed he was anti-Trump after January 6th. https://t.co/6rA6pnciwP

This is a joke, right? Someone tell me this is a joke.

Also, it’s really bad that I can’t actually tell whether it’s a joke. https://t.co/RmNcaOlsjG

A soul is a terrible thing to squander, Senator. You only have one.
