Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin requested a U.S. military aircraft to take him and his new wife on a honeymoon trip to Europe. When confronted, the story was that he needed secure communications while on that trip. Well, that certainly makes sense to me; what concerns me is that he didn't go on to say something like, "So I'm paying for the aircraft."
Yeah, it appears to be a thinly-veiled excuse to get the government to pay for a honeymoon, doesn't it? Well, after the request came to light and the stink started to percolate, they found some other way to give Mnuchin secure communications and he didn't need the military aircraft.
This is exactly the bullshit that we Americans are sick and tired of, and why we elected Trump in the first place. Here you have the Secretary of the Treasury, the guy in charge of all our federal dollars, out there using our federal dollars for his own personal gain. Not only is it against the law, it's corrupt and unethical. In short, he's a would-be thief.
I actually like the guy and the job he seems to be doing and it pains me to say this: Either Trump must fire the bum... or Trump must admit that he, himself, is part of the swamp that needs to be drained.
Let's stop this flagrant abuse of the citizen peasants.
