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.”

    God is a notorious egomaniac who’s committed multiple genocides, glassed middle eastern cities, knocked up a teenager who was someone else’s fiancé, sent his goons to threaten her fiancé to accept his cucking, then dipped on child support and let his kid get torture-killed. Hate to say it, Lindsay is correct; Trump is a very God-like man.

      Especially the Mormon version, who threatened women with destruction for refusing to spread their legs for Joseph Smith.
