(CNN) It's easy to dismiss any one of Donald Trump's tweets as ephemera because, well, there are just so many of them. That goes double for a Trump tweet about a sporting event given the fact that he, uh, isn't an expert in that arena.

And yet, there's just something about the President's tweet on Sunday about the result of the Kentucky Derby that makes it impossible to simply ignore. Because it's about more than the tweet. It's about the man behind the tweet. A man who also happens to be the leader of the free world.

"The Kentuky Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough & tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby - not even close!?" (Trump later corrected his original tweet -- spelling "Kentucky" properly.)

If you aren't familiar with how the race on Saturday at Churchill Downs played out here it is: The favorite -- Maximum Security -- was in the lead coming around the final turn. The horse, for unknown reasons, swerved to the outside of the track -- impeding another horse. Although Maximum Security crossed the finish line first, a challenge was filed and the horse was eventually disqualified. The second place finisher -- Country House -- was declared the winner. Most people who know something about horse-racing -- and that is not me -- agreed it was the right decision.
