Tone Deaf
If there is one commonalty of the Trump administration, it would be tone deafness. Here is one more case of failure to understand the perceptions of what one is doing. The result is another ding to the reputation of Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary. What makes it worse is that he is independently wealthy, and he could easily afford first class travel on the airline of his choosing. An airplane is a perk of the President and no one below him. Even the President is criticized for using Air Force 1 when he is clearly campaigning and not attending to official business. Mnuchin might have brought the attitude with him from the business world that CEOs and the wealthy deserve their own private jets. One hopes he and his wife are quick studies and don't put themselves into the spotlight again.
