The Perpetual Reeducation of Lindsey Graham

I don’t know if Graham is Trump’s single most servile toupee polisher in the Republican conference — so much competition! — but he is surely the one who most aggressively pivots from appearing to criticize Trump and/or his policies to fulsome praise for Trump’s inexhaustible SUPERGENIUS:

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the most vocal critics of President Donald Trump’s decision to move U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria, said on Sunday he now believed “historic solutions” were possible.

In an interview with Fox News Channel, Graham said a conversation he had with Trump over the weekend had fueled his optimism that a solution could be reached where the security of Turkey and the Kurds was guaranteed and fighters from Islamic State contained.

“I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions in Syria that have eluded us for years if we play our cards right,” Graham said.

Graham also said he believed the United States and Kurdish forces long allied with Washington could establish a venture to modernize Syrian oil fields, with the revenue flowing to the Kurds. “President Trump is thinking outside the box,” Graham said of Trump’s thinking on oil.

“The president appreciates what the Kurds have done,” Graham added. “He wants to make sure ISIS does not come back. I expect we will continue to partner with the Kurds in Eastern Syria to make sure ISIS does not re-emerge.”

I guess I can’t deny that assuming the Kurds would be enthusiastic to work with Trump again it thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX.
