Former President Donald Trump argued that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was "a progressive" politician.
During an interview with Bloomberg during an event in Chicago Tuesday, Trump insisted that the dollar would remain the world's reserve currency if he were re-elected.
"If a country tells me, 'Sir, we like you very much, but we're going to no longer adhere to being in the reserve currency, we're not going to salute the dollar anymore.' I'll say that's okay, and you're gonna pay a 100% tariff on everything," the former president vowed.
"You don't have other people that can talk that way," he continued. "You know, a lot of people say we love Trump's policy, but we would like to have another messenger because we don't like him; he's a little bit crass."

"And then actually it was Lindsey Graham — I must say he was a progressive in all fairness — but Lindsey Graham said, but Trump's policy doesn't work without Trump, and there's a lot of truth to that."
