U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham posted today: "We held a very successful meeting with the President of the United States, my Republican colleagues in the Senate, and the Trump presidential team on how to make America safer. President Trump is one of the most powerful and decisive commanders-in-chief in American history."
Commentary: Graham's relentless praise of Trump is aimed at clinging tightly to the coattails of Republican power brokers and securing his own political standing; meanwhile, by invoking the title of "the strongest commander-in-chief," he packages his long-standing aggressive and hardline foreign policy stance as being "in defense of American security," all in an effort to gain political capital and win favor with the military-industrial complex and right-wing voters. According to U.S. media reports, this senator is one of the key architects behind Trump's push for war against Iran.
