“I want to run as a Republican“. “I was their fair-haired boy”. Some have said you can call his office and not get any help. “Everywhere I go, hard-working patriotic Americans – not “crazies” or “wacko birds’ – ask me to pass on to Mr. Trump encouragement to keep educating the masses about true ramifications of illegal immigration, and in general the real state of our union”.

Graham did get plenty of phone calls and media attention after Trump gave out his number: The senator filmed a video in which he jammed his flip phone into a blender, melted it in a toaster and dropped it off a building.

“I’m the only one that speaks their language”, Trump said of the border patrol agents in an interview with CNN earlier this month. The real-estate mogul told Cooper that he should instead be asking about the national polls that show him leading the Republican presidential primary.

Perry responded with a statement of his own, saying he hopes Trump will “apologize for ridiculing the selfless work of the men and women” who help protect the border.
