At the end of an impromptu phoner Sunday, President Donald Trump agreed to a future interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper — saying, “we’re trying to have CNN go in a normal path.” Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union to discuss the sudden passing of Lindsey Graham, the president pushed back on Tapper when he made one attempt to discuss another issue — the latest developments in Iran. But as he wrapped the interview, Tapper tried to get Trump to commit to a more wide-ranging sit down. “Well, I know you don’t want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back some time, because I do have a lot of other questions for you, sir,” Tapper said. “Sure,” Trump replied. “We will do that.” Then Trump made a more broad comment about the network he has regularly attacked throughout his time in office. “We’re trying to have CNN go on a normal path,” Trump said. “And we will do that. “Well, I’m on a normal path right here, sir,” Tapper responded. “And I appreciate your time.” “Good,” Trump said. “You are.” Trump has not hidden his disdain for numerous CNN personalities and the network as a whole, nor has he made any secret about it wanting to go in a different ideological direction under new ownership. The Trump DOJ recently approved the acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery by Paramount Skydance. Numerous CNN personalities have publicly expressed concern about the shape the network could take under Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison — who has a friendly relationship with the president.

Speaking with Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, the president was effusive in his praise of the late senator. “He’s a tough one to lose,” Trump said. “He was great. He was unique in every way, actually.” Trump revealed he had spoken with Graham on Saturday night, just prior to his passing. “So what makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night — sometime in the early evening, maybe in the sevens — and he called and he said, ‘We’re all set for the SAVE America Act,'” Trump said. “He was pushing the SAVE America Act like crazy. He got back, said he just landed from Ukraine. I said, ‘That’s a long trip to make!’ He sounded a little tired, but perfect. But a little bit tired. He had a right to be, he was a worker. He was really a worker. But he sounded great, actually. He actually said he was tired. But he wanted to pass the SAVE America act. And I said, ‘Well we’re gonna get it done, Lindsey. We’re gonna get it done.’ … We thought maybe we might even meet today. And then that was it…It could’ve been his last call, I don’t know exactly. But I got a message about one o’clock in the morning from one of the people in his office that he had passed away. I said, ‘I just can’t believe it!’ He was like a member of the family to me.” Trump went on to praise Graham’s political skills, telling Welker that if he ever had “a real problem” with Democrats, Graham would “work it out” for him. Welker asked if Trump had any details on Graham’s death — noting that “authorities were called to his home responding to initial reports of a cardiac arrest” and that Graham’s office, in a statement, called the cause of death “a quick and sudden illness.” “I would think it would be that,” Trump told Welker. “Because when I spoke to him, it could have been minutes before, based on the fact that I heard about the call, whatever time that was. So it was shortly before. But it had to be something like that, because other than being tired, he was fine.… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Lindsey Graham’s 2016 Warning About Trump Goes Viral After His Death
President Donald Trump, accompanied by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., speaks with reporters while in flight on Air Force One, Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026, as they were returning to Joint Base Andrews, Md. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Following the sudden death of Lindsey Graham early Sunday, a social media post from the late senator quickly resurfaced — a dispatch from 2016 in which he warned about President Donald Trump. Graham was an early, vocal critic of Trump’s prior to the 2016 election. He was an early primary opponent of Trump’s in 2016, and did not endorse him after dropping out, or even in during the general election after Trump had won the nomination. Of course, Graham went on to become a staunch Trump ally and regular golf partner throughout his first and second terms in office. But on Sunday, it was Graham’s May 2016 warning about Trump that got attention from many on the left. “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it,” Graham wrote. Graham’s post came on May 3, 2016 — the day of the Indiana primary which proved to be the final straw for Trump’s two remaining GOP primary opponents, Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Both men dropped out soon after Trump topped Cruz by 17 points to win all of the state’s 57 delegates. On Sunday, many on the left pried up Graham’s warning and called it prescient.

Screenshot Political extremists on both sides wasted little time racing to the bottom after the death of Lindsey Graham — with some far-left delivering callous epitaphs, and some on the far-right spreading conspiracy theories. Young Turks host Ana Kasparian was one of the first prominent voices to weigh in on the far-left. “Good riddance,” she posted on X. Good riddance. — Ana Kasparian (@AnaKasparian) July 12, 2026 To be sure, the South Carolina senator did not conjure up much favor amongst the far-left over the years — with many critics in that category regarding him a full-on warmonger. But despite Graham’s sudden passing, numerous far-left voices shared uncharitable post-mortems. “Lindsey Graham was a terrible man who betrayed whatever values he had to kiss up to Trump just to stay, in his words, ‘relevant,'” wrote left-wing commentator Wajahat Ali. “He is now dead.” Lindsey Graham was a terrible man who betrayed whatever values he had to kiss up to Trump just to stay, in his words, "relevant."

If Julius Caesar had debuted this year, William Shakespeare might have been accused of writing it with AI. A certain suspicious rhetorical device appears again and again in the play. It’s in Act I, Scene ii: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” In Act III, Scene ii: “Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.” And later in that same scene: “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.”These famous lines include what has become perhaps the best-known tic of AI writing—a sentence that tells you what the subject isn’t as well as what it is: It’s not X; it’s Y. Once you start noticing the construction, you see it all over the place. In one version, the Y is additive: It focuses, intensifies, or expands on the X. An annual review by Citizens Financial Group reported that growth in its private-banking division was “not just a win for the private bank—it’s a win for the entire enterprise.” In another variant, the Y supplants the X as the preferred descriptor. “The target was never a man. The target was the truth,” Michael Flynn, a former Donald Trump adviser, wrote in a March X post.Then there are constructions like No A, no B, just C, which especially seem to crop up in AI-generated fiction. Lines such as “No bag, no things, no armor, just me” helped to fuel accusations of AI writing in the horror novel Shy Girl, which was pulled by its publisher this year. (The book’s author denied using AI to write it. Citizens Financial Group has previously said that its communications team “leverages the technology in a number of areas.” Flynn did not respond to a request for comment.)The prevalence of this device isn’t just anecdotal—it’s measurable. (Sorry.) Barron’s reported that its appearance in corporate communications more than quadrupled from 2023 to 2025. Researchers at Pangram, which makes an AI-detection tool, estimate that Not just X but Y sentences appear three times as often in AI writing as they do in human writing. Elyas Masrour, a founding engineer at Pangram, told me that all of the major chatbots—including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and various open-source models—rely on it to varying degrees.Many other well-known chatbot tells—such as the usage of delve—have come and gone as AI companies honed their models and worked out kinks. Last fall, ChatGPT became obsessed… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - ‘Lindsey Graham… Is Dead!’ Trump Marks Death of Republican SenatorAP Photo/Alex Brandon President Donald Trump mourned the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in a Truth Social post in the wee hours of Sunday morning. In a statement, the senator’s office said he died from a “brief and sudden illness” on Saturday night. The statement did not elaborate. “On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,” the statement said. “Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.” Graham, 71, had served in the Senate since 2003 and was running for reelection this year. He won the Republican primary on June 9 and was set to face Democrat Anne Andrews in November’s general election. Trump marked the senator’s passing in a Truth Social post, stating: 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 Graham ran for president in 2016 and was critical of Trump at the time. Shortly before Trump clinched the Republican nomination, the senator declared, “My party has gone batshit crazy.” However, the senator warmed to Trump and became a reliable ally in the Senate, and even a golfing buddy, albeit one who suggested the president cheats at the sport. Graham was one of the more hawkish members of the U.S. Senate and arguably the most fervent supporter of Israel. In March, he appeared on Fox News, where he reiterated his support for Trump’s war on Iran and delivered a message to Israel, which launched the war with the U.S. “To our friends in Israel, God bless you,” he said. “I’m with Israel. I will be with Israel until our dying day.”The post ‘Lindsey Graham… Is Dead!’ Trump Marks Death of Republican Senator first appeared on Mediaite. [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
