Hours after South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump “the world’s biggest jackass” for questioning Arizona Sen. John McCain’s “war hero” status, the real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate responded by giving out Graham’s personal cellphone number.

In a campaign speech to reporters in Bluffton, S.C., Trump told the crowd that Graham once called “begging” him to put in a good word with “Fox & Friends,” the Fox News morning show on which the billionaire businessman and “Celebrity Apprentice” host was a frequent guest.

Trump read aloud Graham’s private telephone number from a piece of paper at the podium.

“Maybe it’s an old number,” Trump told his supporters. “I don’t know, give it a shot.”

A call to the phone number by Yahoo News went to Graham’s voice mailbox, which was full.

A call to the phone number by Yahoo News went to Graham’s voice mailbox, which was full.

“When it comes to the Donald, nothing surprises me anymore,” Graham said. “It’s just too bad, really.”

“Probably getting a new phone,” Graham later tweeted. “iPhone or Android?”

Earlier in the speech, Trump lobbed insults at both Graham and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who Trump said “put glasses on so people will think he’s smart — it just doesn’t work.”

“What a stiff,” Trump said of Graham. “He doesn’t seem like a very bright guy. He actually probably seems to me not as bright as Rick Perry. I think Rick Perry probably is smarter than Lindsey Graham.”

On Monday, Graham said Trump’s comments about McCain have become a distraction to the rest of the GOP field.

“He’s becoming a jackass at a time when we need to have a serious debate about the future of the party and the country,” Graham told CNN. “This is a line he’s crossed, and this is the beginning of the end of Donald Trump.”

But a new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Trump has opened up a double-digit lead in the race for the Republican nomination.

According to the survey, conducted July 16-19, Trump has the support of 24 percent of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents — 11 points higher than Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (13 percent) and 12 points ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

I love this man!

He is a fool.

When you're close friends with eccentric billionaire crazy entrepreneurs that are the kings of drama like vince mcmahon, anything is possible

You don't do that. Even his supporters rang in on this. It just really clarifies what kind of man he is. Explosive, juvenile, obnoxious not really the demeanor needed.

Yeah, he's rich, yeah he's a successful businessman... but he's also a major league joke

Not to mention his foot in mouth syndrome which may start WWIII one day.

Congress will do that soon enough without any help from The Donald.

People need someone or something to fear to maintain control of them and keep the defense stocks climbing in value

Yeah, he is a clown, but he is striking a nerve with the public by telling the truth about immigration and the VA. Both are a sham and neither party is doing chit about it.

He didn't have to give out Grahams phone number. It's already on many bathroom walls.

how many people are just busting at the seams waiting to
watch the big debate coming up in a few weeks ?

all this petty crap is nothing but hype to drum up interest...

like the carny barker spiel.....step right up....everybody is a winner...
the boxer who takes a fake swing at his opponent during the weigh-in...

i give him credit....he is a master of hype and all the suckers are paying attention...
at least that's what all the polls are telling them....

You do when the guy calls and begs for your support, money, endorsement and to get you on a TV show then when all the sudden you guys are running against each other and he calls you a jacka$$ and other profanities well all's fair..........

He's also bringing out the truth about the other candidates.

I hope he also hits in on Scott Walker about being a college drop out, people need to know that. We don't need a President who didn't even complete college.

I can't wait for the debate. As soon as Rand Paul say's something to him it will be the first time in history one candidate will call another candidate a pu$$y! LOL

If none of Dumbass Trump's earlier actions did it...

... This certainly establishes Trump, as a classless douchebag.

self-awareness is a very commendable trait to possess...

Coming from a Hillary supporter that's laughable!

when did I support Hilary? Last time she ran, Im sure I checked the box for OBAMA



who was an 'egotist' and 'narcissist' whenever he spoke his mind the way the 'fearless outsider' Trump is praised for doing,,,

.....^^....i see where you're coming from Ms H...

sometimes i wonder how this shoe would feel on my other foot....

*imagining* the what the narrative would look like had it been Al Sharpton bringing forth
the 30 year old accusations of naive young black women accusing, say for instance, a Pat Boone or a Johnny Carson of inappropriate sexual behavior...??

whether the accusation is true or not.......i think everyone would see a lot of changing teams going on, as far as who would be defending who....

nah,,

not in this corner


thirty years is thirty years,, regardless of race,,,

only exception is CHILDREN who I can understand being fearful of adults

grown WOMEN,? Waiting three decades to say they passed out and there fore were raped,,,,,,
nah
