How crazy & ass-kissing is Treas Sec Mnuchin? Says Trump has perfect genes, should be on $1000 bill

[highplainsdem]

From Axios this morning: "Highlights from our interview with Steve Mnuchin":

https://www.axios.com/treasury-secretary-mnuchin-interviews-with-axios-live-updates-2327865447.html

Trump's stamina: "He's got perfect genes. He has incredible energy and he's unbelievably healthy."

-snip-

The dollar bill: "I think we should look at putting President Trump on the thousand dollar bill."

Other signs of how detached Mnuchin is from reality (and/or adept at lying):

The focus of tax cuts: Mnuchin said the Trump administration's focus is on tax cuts for the middle class, not upper.

Concerns about AI affecting U.S. jobs: So far away "it's not even on our radar screen.... 50-100 more years" away. "I'm not worried at all" about robots displacing humans in the near future, he said, adding: "In fact I'm optimistic"

1. Um, shouldn't the Treasury Secretary, of all people, know that there IS no $1,000 bill?

[LOL Lib]

5. Maybe he meant Monopoly money?

Fake president, fake money!

[Jonny Appleseed]

2. Jesus Christ

An AI would be more qualified than he is.

2. Does he mean the thousand dollar bill that's not printed anymore?

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Bring it back, of course

It is a little too early in the dictatorship for the sides of buildings to be painted with Dear Leader's likeness.

8. Ah yes, to buy a loaf of bread with...

after the next unregulated bank crash and ensuing bailout. We can call them "Bailout Bucks."

4. All this talk about genetic superiority.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. sheesh dude, you two should get a room....

[dchill]

10. What could possibly make you think that...

they don't already have several? They're rich, and clearly have a thing.

9. More fitting would be the

Three dollar bill.

11. Pretty sure only dead Presidents go on bills.

[Tatiana]

12. Sounds white supremacist to me.

I hate these people. I can't wait till we can throw all this trash out.

15. Mnuchin is not crazy at all ...

but his ass-kissing is off the charts.

Seriously! We're not even able to measure it with out current technology.

16. When this moron's signature comes out on dollars.

Scribble it out.

17. Perfect genes? He's a fat, ugly, balding, grossly unhealthy old turd who can barely

get down a flight of stairs by himself. Obama has perfect genes. Trump is lucky if he'll make it to 71.

18. Um, it's against the law to put live people's pictures

on US currency.

If Trump wants to qualify himself, I won't complain.
