Aaron, it funny AF to see what Trump did after... the USSC was soooooooooooo specific in their ruling that it seemed to give the power Trump was looking for.

A few years back, Trump's 1st term, he was in a situation where they were under contract for something...

HE SAID... he preferred a bad contract because he would hold they other party to account based on what the contract said.

So, with USSC narrow interpretation of the case opened the door to other possibilities.
