It's a pretty easy interpretation. You hear on the radio the receiver barely made a touchdown? He made the touchdown.
Or if you hear a pole vaulter barely cleared that last height. He made the height.

No shit that he's being called a king wanna-be. He seems to think he's sworn to figure out ways to contest the Constitution instead of his sworn duty to defend it.

I agree 100% that President Trump follows the Constitution,

I glad that we agree 😁

Give Democrats enough screen time and eventually the self-damaging truth will slip out. Democrat Whip Representative Katherine Clark just gave away how far her party is willing to go to get what it wants - they’re using your family's suffering as leverage during the Schumer Shutdown of the federal government.

Democrat Whip Rep. Katherine Clark: "Shutdowns are terrible. Of course there will be families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility seriously, but it is one of the few leverage times we have."
