Critics are mocking Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) after he took his praise for President Donald Trump to a new level on Wednesday. Speaking on Fox News, Graham gushed over Trump’s declaration that a deal to end the war in Iran should include Middle East nations such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Qatar normalizing relations with Israel. “If he can pull this off, if he can get Saudi Arabia ― the center of Islam for the entire world ― to recognize the Jewish state Israel, he’ll have ended the Arab-Israeli conflict that’s been going on for thousands of years,” Graham declared. “They should change the Nobel Prize to the Trump Prize.” Trump has complained for years that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, publicly lobbied for one, and even insisted that he should have “four or five” of them. He has seemed especially sour over the fact that President Barack Obama has one.Trump did eventually get one ― sort of ― when Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado turned her award over to him. But Graham thinks Trump will earn one of his own, saying he believes Trump can bring peace to the Middle East. “Nobody thought that was possible, I believe it’s possible and there’s one guy can do it,” he said. “Donald Trump.” Graham’s critics on X were not nearly as optimistic: There’s really not much to say about Lindsey anymore. He is just a sad, pathetic little man. https://t.co/aKyKjDb22I— Veterans For Responsible Leadership (@VetsForRL) May 28, 2026Pathetic.A sitting senator watching global wars, economic chaos and democratic erosion…and deciding his biggest job is polishing Trump’s ego like a court jester.Not “President.”Not “Commander-in-Chief.”A prize.Named after him.Washington stopped feeling like a republic… https://t.co/MAJaQd9YKb— AnatolijUkraine (@AnatoliUkraine) May 28, 2026The Trump Prize criteria: bankruptcy filings, hush money payments, impeachments, and approval ratings in the gutter. https://t.co/H7UGBYEk2e— Lemon Sturgis (@LemonSturgis) May 28, 2026Just like the names of Benedict Arnold and Vidkun Quisling have become shorthand for certain pathetic personality types, Lindsey Graham’s should live on as a byword for brown-nosing sycophants who easily abandon any previous principles. https://t.co/4JDVKe31Mm— Dylan Williams (@dylanotes) May 28, 2026I think we all know why Trump has to keep going back for checkups at Walter Reed because this growth on his ass keeps getting bigger. https://t.co/XXGSFs2FAL— Camille MacKenzie (@CamRMacKenzie) May 28, 2026RelatedDonald TrumpLindsey GrahamIran warNobel Peace Prize
