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.
<p>Kanye West had an erratic Oval Office conversation with Trump. </p><p>The President's first press secretary Sean Spicer ended up on <em>Dancing with the Stars</em>. </p><p>Donald Trump Jr. called for a potential pardon of felon-turned-Netflix-star Joe Exotic.</p><p>And now <a href="https://amzn.to/3bc5eRX" target="_blank">Guns N' Roses</a> frontman Axl Rose is roasting the President's Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Twitter.</p><p>Yup, you read that right.</p><p><strong>On Wednesday evening, Rose posted a tweet calling Mnuchin an "asshole."</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
