What the left loves, they found something where they can pick at the Trump team and pick at the Trump team. And people will have different answers because they have different memories. They come from different places. And then each contradiction will become its own story. And the left would like to do nothing more

than hide from the underlying realities of what Trump is doing to fundamentally get America back on track. And if they can find some story, any story, that lets them avoid covering the successful things, they're going to go there. So the best thing that the Trump team can do, in my judgment, is just shut up. Say, we understand it was a mistake. Clearly it was a mistake.

We have an investigation underway. And... When we know enough, we will report to you. But until then, we have nothing more to say. Just move on.

Well, I mean, it should be a real investigation.

Okay. They should assign somebody competent with whatever team they need to find out One, why were they using Signal? Two, who put the chat together? Three, how did this particular person end up on the chat? And four, why did they have a procedure which didn't surface this person the minute they were on the chat? All those things need to be done, but I think...

That's clearly important for the country and for the next three and a half years of the Trump administration. But there's no point in trying to do that out in public until you know something. And frankly, it should be real. It should be serious. They shouldn't just cover it up. They should methodically, seriously understand what happened.

share with the American people what they're going to do to fix it in the future and move on. But wallowing in it and getting involved in who said what to who, you know, and did you really put it on? Did your staff person put it on? How did it get there? That kind of stuff, the media loves, gives them something to talk about that doesn't help Trump.

But first of all, the average American will get tired of it pretty quickly. And I think The things that Trump is doing and the things that the House and Senate Republicans are doing are so big, so historic that we want to get back to communicating those.

Right. And Trump understands this instinctively. That's why he said it was a glitch and he was going back on offense. And then unfortunately, several of his team went up and testified in the Hill and didn't quite have their act together.

And I think that's where you want to have a single sentence or two sentence answer that basically explains why you're not explaining until you know what you're going to say, which they clearly don't currently know. But I mean, Trump has had an astonishing run. From everything we're seeing right now, he's likely to continue to have an astonishing run.
