Steve Mnuchin’s Photos with Dollar Bills Are Everything That’s Wrong with the World
The Treasury Secretary and his wife walked into the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in DC, which may sound like a joke. Actually, it is.

When a US Treasury Secretary visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, DC to see his (it’s always been a man) signature on the new bills, it’s nothing more than a minor news item that represents a changing of the guard. But not during the Trump administration.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his wife Louise Linton are special, very very special. So special I think it’s safe to say they’re in the 1% of extra special:

Yes, you can’t make this up because it is “Let Them Eat Cake” (while I “grab them by the …”) America. This is going viral, but thankfully the internet is on it. I should also remind you this isn’t one of the worst things Mnuchin or Linton have done.
