'The American People' Sent Gift-Wrapped Horse Manure to Steve Mnuchin's House

el Air streets were closed and the Secret Service and LAPD bomb squad called in after a mysterious package addressed to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin appeared outside the home of one of his neighbors. The gift-wrapped box, which was labeled as being from “the American people,” turned out not to contain a bomb, but a pile of horse manure.

According to The Washington Post:

In video of the scene taken by an NBC Los Angeles helicopter, an officer can be seen opening the box, dumping out its contents and spreading a dark, unevenly clumped substance across the ground… Afterward, at least three officers could be seen standing around the pile, shining flashlights on the manure and moving it around with their feet, presumably to check whether anything else might be hidden in it.

This poop present tops off what’s been a banner year for the Secretary, whose wife, Louise Linton, got into a viral Instagram fight over a post in which she’d hashtagged her own Hermès scarf. Together, the couple used a government jet to fly to Kentucky for a view of the solar eclipse. Mnuchin himself may have lied about the Treasury’s research of the Republican tax plan, a plan he promised would not only “pay for itself, but it will pay down debt.” (In reality, the tax plan will increase the deficit by nearly one and a half trillion dollars.) Mnuchin’s been proving all year that he’s one of the many crumbly turds in the big box of manure that President Trump has left on America's doorstep.
