The Moochin' Mnuchins

In the past eight months, we've become accustomed to the sense of entitlement and noblesse of Princess Ivanka and her consort Prince Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner (who is now feeling the hot breath of Robert Mueller on his delicate neck). Both were raised in wealthy circumstances due to their fathers' real estate shenanigans in New York and New Jersey. But no one can top the mega-wealthy Mnuchins for sheer gall in their feeding at the public trough and assuming the public will pay their bills. As the Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin made piles of money heading up OneWest Bank that specialized in foreclosing on over-extended Americans. He's worth around $300 million.

His obnoxious wife, c-list actress Louise Linton, became notorious for flaunting her designer clothing and items while she deplaned from a Government jet from Ft. Knox last month. With considerable hauteur and sarcasm, she put down a critical commenter on her Instagram account. She later apologized for her comments and the Government was reimbursed for use of the Government plane.

The Mnuchins' latest escapade was to request a Government jet this past summer for their honeymoon in Europe. Mnuchin claims that the request was more about "national security" and having secure communications than about sponging off the taxpayers for a free ride:

“Let me be clear: I’m very sensitive to the use of government funds. I’ve never asked the government to pay for my personal travel, and this was purely about alternatives of how I’d be able to be involved for national security.”

Mnuchin later dropped the request when an alternative was identified. Why Mnuchin felt that he couldn't delegate the management of Treasury issues to the Deputy Treasury Secretary while away on his honeymoon no less is something he should defend with Mrs. Mnuchin.

These two have become accustomed to others doing their bidding, waiting on them, and giving them freebies, as one would a royal couple. They have about as much connection to everyday Americans as rocks on Mars, but MAGA Trumpkins!
