Trump sparks fury as he tries to ‘toss Tic Tac into mouth’ during Lindsey Graham funeral | World | News
Donald Trump has been slammed for “gross” behaviour as viewers were left outraged at his conduct during Lindsey Graham’s funeral. Video footage has surfaced on X that appears to show the US President offering JD Vance a mint as they sat together, with many calling it inappropriate behaviour.
He can be seen opening what appeared to be a packet of Tic Tacs, seemingly in an attempt to freshen his breath. The Vice President seemed to find this funny, causing widespread criticism on social media for their behaviour during the sombre event.
One person wrote: “President Trump unsuccessfully attempts to toss a Tic Tac into his mouth.” Another commented: “Are they talking while a choir is singing? Disgusting.”
A third added: “Trump offers Vance a Tic Tac. Then decides to demonstrate the proper technique by tossing one into his own mouth. Misses.
“The Tic Tac hits the floor. Vance just watches. This wasn’t a funeral. This was two grown men accidentally filming a scene from Dumb and Dumber 3.”
Another remarked: “What a pathetic clown. Making a joke with Vance during a funeral.” Someone else commented: “Three idiots yucking it up just feet away from the casket. Gross.”
One further observer noted: “Talking, laughing and eating candy at a funeral knowing full well you are being filmed is just so tacky. I’d say ‘sophomoric’, but it’s more at elementary school level. What an embarrassment.”
Videos from the service showed the US President slowly blinking and closing his eyes, as if he were falling asleep.
This also prompted criticism online, with one person commenting, “He’s struggling”. Another joked: “Again, trump has more oil coming off his face than there is going through the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mr Trump described Mr Graham as a “tough cookie” who “never saw a war he didn’t like” as he delivered a eulogy at the service.
He remembered the late senator as a “respected statesman, a giant of the United States Senate and a true American original”.
