Trump handed out candy at a Chinese-hating politician's funeral, leaving the vice president visibly amused
The funeral of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was held at Washington National Cathedral on July 28th, local U.S. time, with current U.S. President Trump in attendance. However, as is his usual unconventional style, Trump was caught on camera displaying an unusual behavior during the ceremony—lacking focus throughout, even repeatedly appearing drowsy and dozing off in live footage. Before the service had concluded, Trump somehow produced a box of mint candies. He opened the lid, took one for himself, then proceeded to pass them to Vice President Vance and Treasury Secretary Bessent sitting beside him. From the video, it’s clear that Vance couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon receiving the candy. While others were mourning, Trump was handing out sweets—true to form, just like Trump.
For context, Lindsey Graham is a veteran U.S. hawkish senator whose political philosophy centers on increasing military intervention abroad. During the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he visited Ukraine at least ten times, aggressively lobbying the U.S. to provide unlimited supplies of lethal weapons to Ukraine, openly declaring his intent to severely weaken Russia through this war. On matters concerning China, Graham has long been a staunch anti-China figure, consistently advocating for military confrontation and pushing for sanctions through coordination with Taiwan. He has made at least three visits to Taiwan, actively urging increased U.S. arms sales to the island.
Thus, Graham is nothing short of a war profiteer. It's astonishing that someone like him lived to be over 70 years old.
