Mnuchin’s wife mocks ‘out of touch’ critic

LOUISE LINTON, the Scottish actress and wife of US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, has dismissed as “adorably out of touch” a woman who criticised an Instagram post showing her stepping off a government jet in a designer-outfit.

Ms Linton posted the picture of her leaving the plane in Kentucky with Mnuchin. Her post mentioned designer labels in her all-white outfit, including Valentino.

Her critic, said to be a mother-of-three from Portland, Oregon, said: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable.”

Ms Linton, 36, replied by calling the woman “adorably out of touch” and suggested she and Mr Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive and hedge-fund investor, contributed more than her to the US economy and paid more in taxes.

Louise Linton hit back at a critic after posting this picture online with the caption: “Great daytrip”
