Los Angeles psychologist admits ‘gifting’ box of horse manure to Donald Trump’s treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin for Christmas
The US Secret Service says it has interviewed someone claiming responsibility for delivering the gift-wrapped package
A Los Angeles psychologist has admitted “gifting” US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin with boxes of manure in what he says is a dirty protest over the Trump administration’s tax bill.
Robert Strong was identified on Monday by AL.com as the man who sent the manure to Steve Mnuchin’s Bel-Air mansion on Saturday.
Strong shared photos on Facebook of the card that he said accompanied the deliveries.
Addressed to “Stevie,” they read: “Mrs. Mnuchin & Trump, We’re returning the ‘gift’ of the Christmas tax bill. It’s bulls**t. Warmest wishes, the American People.
“PS – Kiss Donald for me.”
On Monday, Strong told California public radio station KPCC: “What I did, I would like to compare to what Jesus did when he went into the temple and overturned the tables of the money-changers, who were exploiting the people financially in the name of religion.
