In what was perhaps one of the most tone-deaf moments of the Trump regime so far, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his wife, an actress named Louise Linton, posed this week with newly engraved sheets of dollar bills - the new ones which bear Mnuchin's signature. A pair of clueless newlyweds posing with the nation's money supply, with the connotation being that it was theirs to do with as they pleased. Clearly Steve and Louise don't face the every day pressures that affect most of their countrymen because they print their own money!
Steve and Louise both made their money the old fashioned way. Steve went to good schools and entered the banking business as an executive and quickly rose even higher. He was a bigwig with Goldman Sachs for several years, and then joined in a group with other wealthy bankers and formed banking giant One West, an organization which grew enormously and immorally fat on home loan foreclosures. Then Trump happened and Mnuchin's scandalous banking resume fit right in with what the billionaire tax dodger and his entourage had in mind for Treasury.
Louise, on the other hand, took a more direct route to Easy Street. The Scottish born actress who had a minimal screen career - mostly as someone preparing to be a victim in fright movies where she earned the appellation "the scream queen," found a sugar daddy and married him shortly after he began signing the nation's currency. Her eagle had landed - at the damned mint!
As all of the awful photos of Steve and Louise posing with the newly printed sheets of dollar bills began circulating on the web, various sights challenged readers to come up with appropriate captions. One of mine was Louise saying, "Look Ma, I got me a feller who prints his own money!" Another thought that flitted through my mind was that the giddy-happy couple looked like they might be shopping for wallpaper. The sheet they were examining was one-dollar bills, which Louise might feel would be appropriate for the maid's bathroom, and I'm sure Steve had in mind running off some Woodrow Wilson $100,000 bills for the ceiling in the master bedroom - something to encourage heroic efforts in bed.
Whatever their personal agendas, it's good to see a couple of Trump tools fondling small bills - for a change. Keep it up, you crazy lovebirds!
