There was literally a stink bomb in the form of manure packaged as a Christmas gift sent to the California home of the US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchen with a less than flattering thank you note about his Donor Class tax cuts bill.
On behalf of “We the People,” This can be dubbed, the best Christmas gift ever!
Here is the rest of the story…
On December 24, 2017 the Reuters staff penned the following story, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin was sent gift-wrapped box of horse manure: reports.
“The package was found Saturday evening in a next-door neighbor’s driveway in Bel Air, the Los Angeles Police Department told the Los Angeles Times and KNBC television, the NBC affiliate in Los Angeles. The package also included a Christmas card with negative comments about President Donald Trump and the new U.S. tax law signed by Trump last week.”
“An LAPD bomb squad X-rayed the package before opening it and found the horse manure inside, police told local media. Aerial footage from KNBC showed officers investigating a large box in wrapping paper, then dumping a large amount of what they later identified as the manure and opening the card that was included inside.”
“Mnuchin, who KNBC said was not home when the package was discovered, is a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc executive and Hollywood film financier.”
“A road in Bel Air was closed for about 2 hours, KNBC reported.”
“The U.S. Secret Service is also investigating the incident, according to the TV station.”
On December 25, 2017, Nicole Hensley of the NY Daily News penned the following report, “Los Angeles psychologist takes credit for Steve Mnuchin horse manure gift.”
Excerpts:
“The supposed secret Santa who dropped a load of Christmas poo near Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s posh Bel-Air pad said it represented the Trump administration’s tax plan.”
“Los Angeles psychologist Robby Strong took credit for the stinker of a prank on Facebook by sharing a copy of the card he left with the special delivery Saturday.”
“The salmon-colored envelope was addressed to “Stevie,” according to a photo of the card.”
“Mrs. Mnuchin & Trump, We’re returning the ‘gift’ of the Christmas tax bill. It’s bulls–t. Warmest wishes, the American People,” the note read.”
“PS — Kiss Donald for me,” it continued.”
“As news of a gift-wrapped box packed with horse manure soiled the Christmas Eve news cycle, Strong shared a cheeky photo of himself posing with a present that appeared to resemble the one Los Angeles police examined Saturday night.”
“Strong declined to immediately comment when reached through text message Monday, but he exchanged poop emojis with a Daily News reporter.”

Dear Suzanne,
You are right. This prank cost the county extra monies and the neighbors were unduly inconvenienced. I suspect that the sender will pay a price for this action. At the same time, I admit guilt for chuckling away for hours over this story.
This was literally a stink-bomb story.
Thanks a million times over for all of your support and for this reblog.

Perfect Christmas gift for this guy! Too bad he wasn’t home when it arrived. Yes, it will cost taxpayers money and manpower, however, isn’t that what the tax bill will be doing? Isn’t that our right as citizens of this country to protest non violently and in any way that we can. The Constitution is very clear on how and what we must do in order to rectify the situation that we currently find ourselves. So a little manure in a box isn’t that bad now is it as opposed to the forms of violence this administration stands for?

Dear Doubledragon61,
I only wish I had thought of doing this. It is the perfect message, and if I had to pay a price, so be it.. I am sure that Mr. Mnuchin is getting little sympathy.. The psychologist who sent the gift is probably enjoying the accolades for his courage to act.
Hugs, Gronda

I’m sure Steve will not see the other person’s side of it and might even be upset.
Now he might have an idea how the folk who were evicted from their homes felt.

Dear Roger,
Steve Mnuchin is the kind of person who few will find to be an empathetic figure. This gift of horse manure was most appropriate and it truly represents the feelings towards him by the vast majority of Americans.
No, he is not one to get the message which is truly warranted.
Hugs, Gronda

I LOVE it!!! I’m sorry, but I cannot shed a single tear over the money it may have cost the community, for the residents are all wealthy people who benefit from the abomination called a ‘tax bill’ at our expense. I wish every single member of Congress had received a similar ‘gift’, for they are all deserving of it. And of course I wish DDT had also received one, only about 50 times the size of the one Mnuchin received. Thanks for sharing this story, my friend!
Hugs!!!

Dear Jill,
When I read this story, I thanked God for my Christmas present which has given me immeasurable pleasure. If the psychologist who sent this well deserved gift needs help with paying fines etc, I’d graciously donate towards his cause.
I am still chuckling away over this tale of manure. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a cartoon reflecting this gift.
Thanks a million times over for all of your support and for this reblog.
Hugs, Gronda

Yes, I would chip in on helping him pay his fines, too! I only wish that Mnuchin himself had been the one to open the package, don’t you? Hugs!!!
