Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose‘s negative opinion of the current U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin led to an interesting exchange on Twitter. While it’s not entirely clear what triggered Rose to fire rant about Mnuchin on social media, the initial tweet is what set things in motion:
It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an asshole.

Mnuchin however responded with the Liberian flag in his attempt and clapping back, as seen below:
Upon realizing his apparent gaffe Mnuchin then deleted his tweet and responded again, this time with the U.S. flag in place:
What have you done for the country lately? 🇺🇸

Rose however zeroed in on Mnuchin‘s embarrassing mix-up, responding with the following:
My bad I didn’t get we’re hoping 2 emulate Liberia’s economic model but on the real unlike this admin I’m not responsible for 70k+ deaths n’ unlike u I don’t hold a fed gov position of responsibility 2 the American people n’ go on TV tellin them 2 travel the US during a pandemic.
