If you thought President Donald Trump's first 100 days were strange [4], just wait until you read Mike Pence's latest tweet. On May 12, the current vice president tweeted out a photo of himself standing next to a white horse, but it was his head-scratching caption that no one could understand.
"Outstanding afternoon. 'I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse.' -Pres. Reagan," Pence tweeted. If you've found yourself feeling dumbfounded, you're not alone. The internet collectively had a "WTF" moment over Pence's use of an esoteric Ronald Reagan quote and made sure to let Pence know it.
To make matters even stranger, it's unclear who (if anyone) actually said the phrase Pence is referring to. Some sources attribute the quote to Ronald Reagan, others to Winston Churchill [5], and one author claims it's neither [6].
