— Donald J. Trump endorsed Senator Darline Graham for her first full term in the South Carolina general election against Democrat Annie Andrews. Graham took office in July 2026 to succeed her late brother, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, according to 19thnews. The endorsement seeks to secure Republican control of the seat.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Senator Darline Graham is a spectacular person, and a true American Patriot, from the Wonderful State of South Carolina! The sister of the Late, Great Lindsey Graham, Darline shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina. For years my dear friend Lindsey would say that, “Darline is the finest, most reliable, and one of the smartest people I have ever known.” Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life. Darline’s opponent, Annie “Trannie” Andrews, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who is opposed to NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if she and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things will be terminated. She wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. Annie Andrews is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! Darline Graham has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR DARLINE — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
