Axios reports:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called his friend Donald Trump “a lying mother—-er” but “a lot of fun to hang out with,” according to “The Divider,” by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, out next Tuesday. Graham said it with “a what-can-you-do shrug,” the authors report — the mindset of so many Trump allies and enablers.
The big picture: “The Divider” — a sweeping, dishy, 700-plus-page history of “Trump’s almost cartoonishly chaotic White House” — shows he came close to taking several rash military actions. The book draws on 300 new interviews (including two with Trump) plus diaries, memos, contemporaneous notes, emails and text messages.
