Does anyone actually believe that Trump can do serial sevens? You have to do five of them to get a perfect score.

If he does so amazingly well on these, I’m sure he would be happy to have one administered in front of a live audience. He loves showing off how awesome he is.

Is Mike Johnson saying that he wants to fix the abusive behavior of health insurance companies?
