\u201cThat was the coolest thing I\u2019ve ever seen, bro,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Shilo said while appearing on the\u00a0One Night with Steiny<\/em>\u00a0podcast. This kind of presidential attention still made waves for a family that\u2019s already grabbing too much media attention.<\/p>\n

Shilo didn\u2019t hold back his excitement over the Truth Social post that went out just before the\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0picked Shedeur in the fifth round.\u00a0\u201cIf you got the president tweeting, bro, you know something\u2019s wrong,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Shilo said, hinting at the shock and confusion many felt over his brother\u2019s unexpected draft slide.<\/p>\n

His comments added a personal layer to what had already become a headline-grabbing moment in sports and politics.<\/p>\n

    Shilo hinted that someone close to Trump may have nudged him toward making that statement.\u00a0\u201cJust say it was someone close to me that maybe put it in his head that he needs to say something,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Shilo added with a smile. When Steiny joked that it could\u2019ve been him, Shilo nodded in agreement,\u00a0\u201cThat does make sense.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
