Trump lickspittle Sen. Lindsey Graham didn't take too kindly to CNN's Dana Bash pointing out to him that President Obama was honoring the Bush administration's Status of Forces Agreement on troop withdrawal from Iraq while he was trying to blame the formation of ISIS on Trump's predecessor, rather than George W.

Graham also insisted he's going to be able to convince Trump keep troops in Syria, despite Trump's demand that they leave the country immediately.

BASH: But he did it because there was a status of forces agreement with Iraq, right?
