Axl Rose is feuding with US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin

What kind of batshit crazy universe features an America where there’s Twitter fight between the US Secretary of the Treasury and the lead singer of Guns N’ Roses?

Everything can be summed up in this Twitter thread.

The year is 2020. Amidst a global pandemic, Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose says the Secretary of the Treasury and producer of Wonder Woman is "officially an asshole." In response, the Executive Producer of the Lego Movie asks what Rose has done for his country with the flag of Liberia. https://t.co/c0pMA3Hyqy

Uh, Steve? Shouldn’t you be focusing on the American economy? It seems to need a little help at the moment.

This reminds of a joke I heard last night:

Q: What borders on stupidity?

A: Canad and Mexico!
