OK, in the pool of weird things to happen in 2020, who had rock star Axl Rose and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin beefing on Twitter?

It happened Wednesday night, when Rose, the frontman for Guns N’ Roses, tweeted, unprompted, that Mnuchin is “officially an a--hole.” Two hours later, Mnuchin responded: “What have you done for the country lately?”

It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an asshole.

What have you done for the country lately? 🇺🇸


Mnuchin originally included an emoji of the Liberian flag, then deleted it and re-posted with the American flag. (In fairness, they look kinda alike.)

It’s unclear exactly what triggered Rose’s tweet, but it came a day after his band’s cover of “Live and Let Die” played as President Donald Trump toured a face-mask plant in Arizona. In the past, Rose has blasted Trump for playing Guns N’ Roses songs at rallies without his permission.
