在周二一场充满情感的告别仪式上,总统唐纳德·特朗普向已故南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆致敬,回顾了两人如何从激烈的政治对手逐渐发展为亲密盟友与朋友。
特朗普表示,转折点出现在2015年他在南卡罗来纳州布拉夫顿的一场竞选集会上公开披露格雷厄姆的手机号码之后——他在周二承认当时的举动是个错误。
“大家应该还记得,我和林赛的开局并不算顺利,”特朗普在华盛顿国家大教堂的悼词中说道,并补充称两人在角逐2016年总统提名时,格雷厄姆曾发表过一些“攻击性言论”。
“于是我自然而然地做了一件不该做的事,”总统继续说道,“在那场重要演讲中,我当着当天数百万观众的面公布了他的私人手机号码。”

从“丢人现眼”到“家人”:特朗普与林赛·格雷厄姆的非凡情谊
“我还记得那个号码:(202) 228-0292,要是有人想打去试试的话,”特朗普接着说道,引发全场笑声。
“他的电话彻底炸了。他说‘这个号码我用了20年’。他的手机完全……我不知道他当时是怎么处理的。但确实彻底崩了,”特朗普说,“从某种意义上说,这就是我们友谊的开端。”
“但最后笑到最后的是林赛,因为虽然我就那一天把他的手机搞崩了,但我们后来成了很好的朋友,接下来的10年里林赛不停给我打电话,”特朗普继续说道。
这段 unlikely 的友谊逐渐升温,两人经常一起打高尔夫、深夜通电话,格雷厄姆也成为特朗普立法议程的主要支持者。
自本月初格雷厄姆去世以来,特朗普已多次谈及这位参议员在他生活中始终存在的身影。

仪式开始前,在摄像机开拍、演讲开始以及格雷厄姆的灵柩抵达之前,华盛顿国家大教堂成为了这位已故议员的熟人、同事、支持者乃至曾经的对手的聚会场所。
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基——格雷厄姆在国际舞台上最亲密的两位盟友——均出席了仪式,他们分别在涌入大教堂的众多国会议员和内阁成员中应酬。
参议院多数议员也到场了,包括宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼,他身着西装。这种场面即便在特朗普的第二任就职典礼上都难得一见。
与此同时,特朗普对格雷厄姆的喜爱在他的致辞中随处可见。
他称格雷厄姆是“挚爱的朋友、忠诚的兄弟、受人尊敬的政治家、美国参议院的巨人,以及一位真正的美国原创者,他离去得太早了”。

“30多年来,国会山上但凡有什么重要事,林赛·格雷厄姆都会知晓,”特朗普回忆道,“世界上任何地方但凡有什么大事,林赛·格雷厄姆都会有自己的看法。任何法案得以通过……都离不开林赛·格雷厄姆的参与。他是一位将善良而强大的内心全部奉献给美国的人。”

Trump reflects on infamous phone-number stunt that sparked friendship with Graham

In an emotional farewell Tuesday, President Donald Trump paid tribute to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., recounting how their relationship evolved from fierce political foes into close allies and friends.
Trump said the turning point came after he publicly revealed Graham’s cellphone number during a campaign rally in Bluffton, S.C., in 2015 — a decision he acknowledged Tuesday was a mistake.
“As you remember, Lindsey and I did not exactly get off to the best of starts,” Trump said during his eulogy address at the Washington National Cathedral, adding that Graham had said something “nasty” when they were both running for the 2016 presidential nomination.
“So naturally, I did something that I shouldn’t have done,” the president continued. “I shared his personal cellphone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day as I made a speech, a very important speech.”

FROM ‘DISGRACE’ TO ‘FAMILY’: TRUMP’S REMARKABLE JOURNEY WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM
“And I remember the number (202) 228-0292 if anybody wants to give it a shot,” Trump went on, sparking laughter in the room.
“His phone exploded. He said, ‘I had that number for 20 years.’ His phone totally — I don’t know what he did with it. But it exploded,” Trump said. “That was the beginning of a friendship, in a way.”
“But it was Lindsey who had the last laugh, because while I blew up his phone all for one day, we became great friends and Lindsey did not stop calling me for the next 10 years,” Trump continued.
The unlikely friendship grew to include frequent rounds of golf and late-night phone calls as Graham became a leading advocate for Trump’s legislative agenda.
Since Graham’s death earlier this month, Trump has repeatedly spoken about the senator’s constant presence in his life.

LINDSEY GRAHAM’S FINAL MISSION NEARS FINISH LINE AS WORLD LEADERS GATHER TO HONOR HIM
And before the service began, before the cameras began rolling, before the speeches, and before Graham’s casket arrived, the Washington National Cathedral became a gathering place for those who the late lawmaker knew, worked alongside, advocated for, and, at times, fought.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, two of Graham’s closest allies on the world stage, both attended — holding court separately among the sea of lawmakers and Cabinet members filing into the cathedral.
Much of the Senate attended, too, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who wore a suit. A rare sight not seen even at Trump’s second inauguration.
Meanwhile, Trump’s affection for Graham was visible throughout his remarks.
He called him a “beloved friend, a devoted brother, a respected statesman, a giant of the United Senate, and a true American original who left us much too soon.”

“For more than 30 years, nothing of consequence happened in this Capitol without Lindsey Graham knowing about it,” Trump reflected. “Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it. And no bill became law… without Lindsey Graham having a say in it. He was a man who gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart.”
