Numerous unlikely paths have crossed in the era of President Donald Trump.
America's first reality TV star President is living up to his claim to fame.
Kanye West had an erratic Oval Office conversation with Trump.
The President's first press secretary Sean Spicer ended up on Dancing with the Stars.
Donald Trump Jr. called for a potential pardon of felon-turned-Netflix-star Joe Exotic.
And now Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is roasting the President's Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Twitter.
Yup, you read that right.
On Wednesday evening, Rose posted a tweet calling Mnuchin an "asshole."
It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an asshole.— Axl Rose (@Axl Rose)1588804087.0
Even more mindbogglingly, Mnuchin responded.
@axlrose What have you done for the country lately? 🇺🇸— Steven Mnuchin (@Steven Mnuchin)1588810932.0
But in his original tweet, Mnuchin mistakenly included the Liberian flag in his response, later deleting it and replacing it with the American flag.
An exchange on Twitter. https://t.co/OW07nX09zT— Philip Crowther (@Philip Crowther)1588810687.0
Now deleted and tweeted again, this time with the flag of the United States of America (🇺🇸) rather than Liberia (🇱🇷… https://t.co/EmeBlwB8Ur— Philip Crowther (@Philip Crowther)1588811495.0
But it was too late.
Rose had already seen the deleted tweet and quickly called Mnuchin out.
@stevenmnuchin1 My bad I didn’t get we’re hoping 2 emulate Liberia’s economic model but on the real unlike this adm… https://t.co/8cZmG7uTua— Axl Rose (@Axl Rose)1588828824.0
So far, Mnuchin has wisely kept silent instead of responding to Axl Rose's latest takedown.
That doesn't mean the rest of the internet did.
Not sure Mnooch knew what he was gettin his ass into here. 😎 https://t.co/TNRjL5Cfik— Dennis MASKS R SEXY Herring (@Dennis MASKS R SEXY Herring)1588831668.0
Way to go, Steve Mnuchin. For the first time in my life, I'm a fan of Axl Rose. https://t.co/VWvHKbbaFb— Tom Nichols (@Tom Nichols)1588819431.0
This Twitter exchange is truly something https://t.co/y19x8dL18b— David Amoyal (@David Amoyal)1588847792.0
@axlrose Thank you for speaking truth to power!— nicholas baham (@nicholas baham)1588865750.0
Mnuchin probably shouldn't have responded to Rose with the question, "what have you done for the country lately?"
It was the perfect setup.
Axl Rose has foreclosed on 137,000 fewer American families than you, Steve. https://t.co/iPM4KCez7T— John Fugelsang (@John Fugelsang)1588823300.0
Pretty sure he doesn't have the blood of 70,000-plus Americans on his hands... https://t.co/rkC5bKz4rU— Mehdi Hasan (@Mehdi Hasan)1588832401.0
There is a 100% chance America would be better off with Axl Rose as Secretary of the Treasury, Slash as Secretary o… https://t.co/gpiPJMSdez— Brandon Friedman (@Brandon Friedman)1588818910.0
Don’t know Axl, but he made it on his own, as opposed to you who used your daddy to get a job at Goldman Sachs and… https://t.co/93PEDcEUEr— Bradley Whitford (@Bradley Whitford)1588833302.0
Mnuchin has repeatedly found himself in hot water for his boasting and general ineptitude. People were glad to see him owned by such an unlikely person.
Welcome to the jungle, Steve.
