We all serve God and country - Trump is the leader of the country. Why the nitpick?

The tide has turned, rinos fall in line noting Trump is not going away and is winning...they are now sprinting to catch the train and jump on...the train’s nick name is, “Me, Too!”

He's not afraid to take on the big-mouths around here.

I hope he's talking about McCain, but there are so many to choose from.

“Served with” would be a more accurate statement.

Constitutionally, never.

Yet practically, since the 17th Amendment, popularly elected senators who want to be reelected had better take the pulse of the public’s regard for the guy who gets wall-to-wall media coverage.

Repeal the 17th. Article V.

It may be more a "head of state" thing than a "head of government" thing.

As the president is officially at the top of the whole tree, those in government "serve under" him even if they're not of his party.

Or it may just be a temporal thing -- "under" meaning "at the time of" or "during the term of."
