Congress has asked for details.

There's something about him that makes me think he was manufactured out of plastic.

With the gray hair. Combined with his oddly rosey face makes it look like an extra from the birdcage just lost his wig

what he was was wrong, but he did it anyway. The only logical explanation is that this freeloading behavior is widespread throughout the Trump administration and he was just doing what everyone else was. He must have been assured that no one in charge cared enough to make them stop.

If the press hadn't outed him, he'd still be acting like an oriental potentate and Trump wouldn't said a thing.

Or maybe "Diamond Tom."

Or "Tom Living-The-High-Life-(on-the-taxpayers) Price." Let's call HIM "The Mooch"!

I've got a load of nicknames for him starting to pop up.

Also heard on the Chris Hayes show that Scott Pruitt has savored a bit of a taste of "Moocherism" too.
