Trump said he would drain—only it involves one of the very Cabinet members he selected. Tom Price resigned as Health and Human Services Secretary on Friday after catching flak over his affinity for private air travel while being ineffective in helping to salvage POTUS’s losing effort on Obamacare repeal-and-replace. According to Politico, Price spent more than $1 million in taxpayer money to fly around the world on charter jets, which infuriated Trump. He apparently “berated” Price at the Oval Office for two hours, according to The New York Times, and by Friday afternoon, Price had “resigned.” He’s not alone in his bourgeois travel arrangements: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke are also being scrutinized for some seemingly unnecessary taxpayer-funded trips. And, of course, that says nothing of Trump himself, who has already spent millions on weekend getaways from the White House. The Prez has yet to indicate if he’ll come down as hard on other Cabinet members as he did on Price, but over the last 14 days, “Trump Cabinet” has just a 29 percent positive score on Social. –Alex Shultz
