No one could accuse Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of being a sycophant for President Donald Trump. He doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with Trump and isn’t shy about saying so.
But sometimes he does agree with him, and when he does he is also not shy about saying so. In the midst of his tweets regarding concerns over pulling out of Syria, he put out this little doozey for the Democrats:

To Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats:
No Wall Money, No Deal.

Some people were concerned that Trump would “cave” to Democrats over the wall. But he has stood firm and now he has Graham backing him up.
According to The Hill, the battle between the Democrats and Republicans, which has already led to a partial government shutdown, may take time to end. That is because the House “passed an amended version” of the Senate’s continuing resolution providing more than $5 billion for the border wall and security.
The bill has stalled in the Senate, where The Hill reports that it does not have the support it needs to pass. Could that change?
Graham has been a senator since 2002 and was elected to the House before that. He presumably has some influence amongst his fellow members of Congress.
With him backing the president on funding and building the wall, it is possible that others in the Senate will do so as well, if he presses them on it. His Senate biography notes that he is “one of the strongest proponents of a robust national defense.”

I dont think so - I think he knows what he believes in and does not blindly follow like he did when No Name was around. He has concerns about Syria and that is ok - let the debate happen. I wish he would be more discreet about his opposition but our country is moving past that expectation I think. I dont want puppets who agree with everything the President does, do you?

Being against leaving Syria and for the DS Saudi Arabia coup attempt are pretty shady

Seems that way. I havent read enough yet about his reasons to give an opinion but I hope it is being done as an opportunity for him (and others) to be convinced in a public way to come around and not give the impression he wont stand up to the President. Hard to say.

i think he's flip flopping but essentially or eventually flipping over.
