Fresh off his primary win, Lindsey Graham lavished praise on Donald Trump, calling him “not far behind God” and casting him as the Republican Party’s undisputed kingmaker.

The four-term South Carolina senator made the remarks during his Tuesday night victory speech, after fending off five challengers and winning more than half the vote.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham told a crowd of supporters, while laughing. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

    These dinosaur politicians see Trump as a benefit the same way CEOs see AI as a money machine. They don’t care what the mechanisms are, or what has to be abandoned/contradicted to use it. They want “number go up.”

    And that’s why we need new folks in Washington (and fewer CEOs).
