BOLDUAN: “You went from — I’ll sum it up — hating him, making fun of him, finding peace, trying to work with him where you can work with him, then he comes out and hits you again on whatever he decided to do on a given day. Do you trust him now?
GRAHAM: “I trust the President.”
BOLDUAN: “Or is it like trust but verify with him as well?”
GRAHAM: “It’s not about trusting the — yeah, I like the President. I trust him in terms of trying to do things that are big and matter. Here’s what I’ve got. I’ve got a relationship with the President at a time when I think he needs allies.”
BOLDUAN: “But if people say this is two-faced, where is the Lindsey Graham of standing up to Donald Trump, what do you say?”
GRAHAM: “I’ll tell him when I think he’s wrong. But let me just tell you about the critics. When I worked with President Obama, and I did on occasion, I was a hero. When I worked with President Trump, I’m two-faced. I know how the game is played. I don’t give a damn. I’m going to do what’s best for the country. I like the president. I want to help him. I hope he’s successful. He’s been a friend to me. And he says some things I don’t agree with. So, if you don’t like me working with President Trump to make the world a better place, I don’t give a s***.”
BOLDUAN: “And there you have it. Senator Graham.”
