00:00Yes. I mean, does Donald Trump care if somebody's district is up in arms?

00:04Look, he cares about bad headlines like anybody else does. And so I think one of the things we

00:08saw this week that's been interesting is the administration admitted a mistake. That's how

00:12big of a mistake it was to send somebody to El Salvador who did not belong there, did not deserve

00:19to be deported. This White House does not like admitting mistakes of any kind. So to admit

00:23something says they know it was a really big goof. We saw that with SignalGate as well. That was

00:28somebody else's fault. And this is where the administration, I think, is very sensitive.

00:33A bad headline, especially if it's about Donald Trump or can be tied to Trump, it's going to

00:38be very dangerous for him.
