Trump During Call with NBC’s Welker on Sen. Graham: I Got a Message from One of His People That He Had Passed Away, I Said, ‘I Can’t Believe It’

‘He was like a member of the family to me’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "What makes it even stranger is I got a call last night some time in the early evening, maybe in the sevens, and he called and he said we’re all set for the save America act. He was pushing the save America act like crazy. He got back – said he just landed from Ukraine. That’s a long trip to make, he sounded a little tired, but perfect. A little bit tired. Had a right to be. He was a worker. He was really a worker, but he sounded great, actually, but he was – he actually said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the save America act, and I said, well, we’ll get it done, Lindsey. I’ll get it done. I’ll see you soon. We might even meet today, and that was it, and you know, that was very – around the time. It couldn’t have been much longer. It could have been his last call. I don’t know, exactly, but I got a message about 1:00 in the morning from one of the people in his office that he had passed away. I said – I can’t believe it. He was like a member of the family to me, it’s very tough, actually. It’s amazing."
