The Magnificent Seven
President Trump quickly fired back at a Wall Street Journal report that he had openly expressed dissatisfaction with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, slamming the story as another example of “fake news,” The Hill reports.
Said Trump: “I am extremely happy and proud of the job being done by Mnuchin. The FAKE NEWS likes to write stories to the contrary, quoting phony sources or jealous people, but they aren’t true. They never like to ask me for a quote b/c it would kill their story.”
