As the cathedral filled with eulogies for Lindsey Graham, the internet fixated on everything else. Trump\u2019s bowed head, his deep breaths, and a fleeting exchange with JD Vance became raw material for partisan narratives: to some, a tired man at a long, emotional service; to others, a disrespectful president drifting through a moment of national mourning.
