'You F'd Up Your Presidency': Graham Reportedly Blasted Trump After He Refused to Concede Election

Over the last several days, revelations surfacing from the latest Trump-era tell-all book, "Peril", have left some readers stunned and many others with a bevy of questions on the last days of the Trump presidency.

US Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a longtime Trump ally, reportedly told the former US president, Donald Trump, earlier this year that the latter had ruined his four years in office in pointless attempts to deny his loss in the 2020 US presidential election.

The behind-the-scenes incident is said to have occurred shortly after it became apparent that Trump would not clinch another four years in the Oval Office. The harsh exchange was detailed in "Peril," the latest Trump White House tell-all book to hit stores in the last several months.

Iconic Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, who authored the work alongside fellow journalist Robert Costa, spoke on the incident during a Sunday appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." Asked about how they would characterize the exchange, the pair did not skimp on the details.

"We quote conversations between Sen. Graham and Trump in which Lindsey Graham says to Trump, 'You f'd up your presidency' at one point just a couple of months ago," Woodward recalled, adding that while the outburst prompted Trump to hang up on Graham, the former called back the next day.

The South Carolina Republican is said to have later suggested that he may have made a misstep, conceding that he "would have hung up too" if someone had spoken to him in the same manner.

Woodward told show host Todd that the "core conclusion that Graham has is you lost a close election. Face it."

Trump has never actually used the term "concede" with regard to the 2020 election, only continuing to tout unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud and electoral irregularities.

Most recently, the one-term president made additional baseless claims during a Saturday rally in Perry, Georgia, that saw him blasting the Biden administration over its handling of a border crisis and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
