President Trump And Others At The White House Celebrate The Life And Friendship of Senator Lindsey Graham

By S.E. Gunn, PhD - All News Pipeline

On July 13, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Death of Senator Lindsey Graham writing:

As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding service of Senator Lindsey Graham, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until 6:00 p.m. on July 18, 2026.  I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half‑staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

On July 13, 2026, the White House published the release President Trump Honors the Life and Legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham offering quotes from the President on his close friend Lindsay Graham, Republican Senator from South Carolina:

President Trump described the loss as deeply personal: “He’s a tough one to lose. He was great — he was unique in every way… I just can’t believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It’s very tough, actually. He was such an advocate.”

President Trump reflected on his final conversation with Senator Graham: “It’s devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night… What a terrible loss it is. He was a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them. He was a natural politician. He got along with everybody.”

President Trump singled out Senator Graham’s passionate defense of Brett Kavanaugh as a standout Senate moment: “I think his finest moment was his defense of Brett Kavanaugh, who’s terrific guy and was treated very, very unfairly by the Democrats… I think it was a top ten, maybe a top five, moment in the history of the Senate. It was an incredible display, and he did it from the heart. He felt strongly about Brett, and he did it from the heart — and it turned that whole thing around.”

President Trump praised Senator Graham’s political skill and ability to build relationships: “He got along with everybody and yet, he was a tough cookie in a lot of ways. Honestly, he was a great politician. People don’t realize what a good politician he was… This man was a great politician. He really got it.”

President Trump reflected on Senator Graham’s broader legacy: “We lost a great man. He was a great man. He was a great politician, and he was a kind man… The real loser was the United States of America. We lost a great person, a kind person, a very smart person… Everything for him was about work. It was about loving the country.”

Here are but a few of the remarks posted on X lamenting the death of Senator Lindsay Graham:

First Lady, Melania Trump, posted the following on X about the death of Senator Lindsay Graham:

I am saddened by the unexpected passing of Senator Graham.  Lindsey devoted his life to the service of our nation, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to his duties.  My deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his enduring legacy.

Chief of Staff Susie Wiles writes:

Like so many, I’m deeply  saddened by the passing of my friend of 25 years, Lindsey Graham.  

Lindsey devoted his life to serving our country with conviction, courage, and an unwavering sense of duty. But, importantly, the man behind the public figure was deeply devoted to his family, a kind and generous friend and blessed with a great sense of humor, punctuated by a sharp wit.

While his time on earth has been cut short, he will be remembered by history as a consequential and impactful leader with an enormous heart for America.

Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for a lifetime of service. May God comfort those who love you and may He grant you eternal peace.

Yair Netanyahu writes:

Rest in peace, Senator Graham. Thank you for your friendship and unwavering support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel. You were truly one of a kind.

Robbie Starbuck writes:

I had relentlessly criticized Lindsay Graham for years when I was removed from the ballot in 2022. At the time the most recent polling had me soundly winning the race for Congress.

Lindsay Graham got my phone number and called me wanting to contribute $ to my lawsuit to get back on the ballot, despite my criticism, and said it was unAmerican that people wouldn’t get the chance to vote for me.

I’m sure he would’ve voted for someone else if he lived in the district but still, he wanted people to get to vote for who they wanted to vote for and ultimately, for people told decide the election instead of a dozen people in a back room.

Ultimately the lawsuit didn’t restore my name on the ballot (the back room won) but I was always perplexed and moved by him doing that because he knew what I had publicly said about him and he knew I was more right wing than him. Still, he wanted to help fix it.

He even offered to call SEC members who had voted to remove my name from the ballot. For all my foreign policy criticism of Lindsay, this was a totally genuine/non-cynical offer. I told him I wouldn’t stop criticizing his foreign policy and he laughed, saying he wouldn’t count on it.

Lots of people do things for cynical/bad reasons in DC but he genuinely just wanted to help because he saw it as totally wrong to steal that choice from voters. It showed me a side of him I hadn’t seen or imagined. So, yeah, Lindsay Graham was a man of complexities.

Also incredibly cool he adopted his sister after his parents died and managed all of that as a young man.

I sincerely hope no state actor was involved in his death because that’s the last thing the world needs BUT it must be fully investigated since he was very active in both the Russia and Iran conflicts. Especially since he just left Ukraine. Wishing peace and God’s love to his family!

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent writes:

Senator Lindsey Graham was a great American and Patriot. 

He was a dedicated public servant who never stopped fighting for the Palmetto State and all Americans.

As a Senator he worked tirelessly for our country. It was an honor to call him my friend. And work with him to advance President Trump's agenda at home and on the international stage.

Lindsey was a one-of-a-kind politician who could speak at length on both global defense policy and South Carolina kitchen table issues. He will be missed across our state, country and the entire globe.

My prayers are with his sister and extended family during this difficult time.

🚨 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: Sen. Lindsey Graham died at 71 following a sudden "cardiac arrest" call at his home, and he was carried away on a stretcher

He had just returned from Ukraine

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead! He was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!! DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS TO FOLLOW. So sad! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Absolutely insane.

Pray for the family 🙏🏻

Of course, there are many negative comments about the death of Lindsay Graham and I refuse to give them the time of day. Lindsay Graham was a Veteran who supported his teenage sister after the death of their parents. He has served in the US Congress for many decades and deserves to be remembered for the positive things he has done for our country.

Finally, Iran is taking credit for the sudden death of Lindsay Graham:
