Donald Trump did another weird thing today, giving out South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s actual cell phone number during a campaign stop. Like Trump, Graham is also running for the Republican presidential nomination.
Graham has been blunt about his distaste for Tump’s rambling speeches and told CNN Monday that the real estate mogul is a “jackass.”
So in return, Trump called Graham an “idiot” and told everyone at the rally in Graham’s home state to call a the senator’s cell phone. Trump gave out the number, telling the audience to “give it a shot.”
While CNN didn’t get a hold of Graham, a Politico reporter did. Others did and Graham’s inbox was soon full.
“When it comes to the Donald, nothing surprises me anymore. It’s just too bad, really,” Graham told Politico, adding that Trump’s comments are just taking attention away from more serious issues.
How did Trump get Graham’s number anyway? As the Washington Post notes, Trump told the audience that Graham asked him for money and a reference to get on Fox And Friends.
Graham later tweeted a joke to followers, writing, “Probably getting a new phone. iPhone or Android?”
