Trump and Graham shared a combative relationship during the presidential campaign, with Graham emerging as a one of the most vocal GOP critics of the real estate mogul.

Trump also took a swipe at him earlier this month, saying that Graham would "crack that 1 percent barrier one day" — a reference to Graham's low poll numbers during the White House race.

"I didn't realize Lindsey Graham is still at it. I think Lindsey Graham is a nice guy, actually," he said. "I've heard that he is a nice guy, and I've been hearing it."

Graham has blasted Trump over policy issues including immigration and his repeated praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Trump administration was widely mocked this week for describing officials' false statements about the inauguration crowd size "alternative facts."

The South Carolina Republican shared an article from the parody news website The Onion about being chased through the woods of his home state by President Trump and his "vicious hunting dogs," noting the media had missed the "scoop of the year."
