Senator Lindsey Graham pitched President Trump an elaborate plot to have North Korean leader Kim Jong Un assassinated by the Chinese government and allow a military general to take control of the rogue nation, it was revealed on Tuesday.
Graham presented Trump with the ambitious plan during a national security meeting in September 2017 — just two months before the president on Twitter, according to an excerpt of Bob Woodward’s new book.
The excerpt of the book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” .
At the time, North Korea was testing intercontinental ballistic missiles and President Trump vowed to “totally destroy” the country if they trained their weapons toward US assets.
Among the hardline stances proposed by Graham was the Kim assassination plot, which would create a void for the Chinese government to install a leader that “they control.”
The national security meeting was attended by Trump, Sen. Graham (R-S.C.), former national security adviser HR McMaster and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
Graham also advocated for a stronger presence in Afghanistan, the report said.
“Do you want on your resume that you allowed Afghanistan to go back into the darkness and the second 9/11 came from the very place the first 9/11 did?” Graham asked the president, according to Woodward’s book.
After Trump replied “How does this end?” the senator responded in ominous fashion.
“It never ends,” Woodward recounts Graham telling Trump. “It’s good versus evil. Good versus evil never ends.”
