Political Cornflakes: Treasury secretary finds it ‘funny’ when Trump swears during campaign rallies

Treasury secretary finds it ‘funny’ when Trump swears during campaign rallies. Utah senators blame lobbyists for controversial inland port proposal. It’s possible no Republican will be on the Utah ballot this year.

Happy Monday. During a rowdy rally in Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump swore, complimented dictators and mocked a Democratic lawmaker as having “a very low-IQ.” His loyal treasury secretary described it all as “funny.” “He's using these vulgarities in the context of a campaign rally,” Steven Mnuchin said, in part, during an interview on NBC.
