Social Media Mocks Lindsey Graham's Suck-Up Birthday Message To Trump

Donald Trump turned 78 on Friday, and one Senate Republican seemed especially eager to wish the former president a happy birthday.

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to X, formerly Twitter, to offer a birthday message that made up in obsequiousness what it lacked in dignity.

Yes, Graham made sure to praise his fearless leader’s golf game:

Happy Birthday to President@realDonaldTrump!
Your golf game has never been stronger, and America needs you now more than ever.
Your best present will come in November when the American people elect you as our next President and Commander in Chief.

Happy Birthday to President @realDonaldTrump!

Your golf game has never been stronger, and America needs you now more than ever.

Your best present will come in November when the American people elect you as our next President and Commander in Chief.

He sounds a little thirsty, right?

But to add to the pitifulness: It appears Graham edited the original post and added the word “president” — perhaps to appease Trump, who hates being reminded he lost the 2020 election.

Others also called out Graham’s groveling.

Holy shit Lindsey.

Holy shit.

Renfield could not even fathom being this much of a bootlicking sycophant.

Are you THAT afraid of him telling your willfully blind constituents that you are a massive closet case? Does he have pics of you with a leather gimp?

You have *zero* dignity left. https://t.co/E9D7vKWrOj

What does he have on you

Good Job of presenting yourself as an idiot today, Lindsey.
Endorsing a rapist, tax fraud criminal, convicted criminal (felon) for election interference, thief who stole classified documents and insurrectionist fits your pathetic brain perfectly. https://t.co/ONw66rqWlq

One person felt obliged to point out that, once upon a time, Graham spoke out against Trump.
