Because I'm going to give you one opinion.

The picture of Donald Trump in the 80s, is that not Don Johnson's coat from Miami Vice?

I think I just caught that because we need to celebrate that coat making a new appearance since the 1980s, drama days.

We'll put that aside.

Here's the thing.

You come to my platform, subscribe and follow me.

Here's what you're going to get when moments like that happen.

If there's a billion opinions out there, I'm going to get you some reporting on it.

Here's what I can tell you over the past 24 hours.

This is a political problem for Republicans.

And you're going to have a case where

Senators, Republicans who are on Capitol Hill this week are going to be asked about the Truth Social Post and they're going to have to try to answer for it.

That's not the message they want to be on.

It happened Sunday where the Senate Republican leader was asked about it and didn't give a very declarative, unequivocal answer.

We've talked about, Ben, maybe bringing a hard copy of the Truth Social post around to ask Republican House members and senators if they've seen this or to look at it and respond to it.

That gets them off message.

They're trying to drive this SAVAC message this week.

They're trying to talk about transgender sports this week, even though it's not necessarily timely.

So objectively, as a reporter, I can tell you over the past 24 hours, it's been a political liability.

Then on Meet the Press on Sunday, the Treasury Secretary was asked about that post, not what he wanted to be talking about.
