Steve Mnuchin is right about one thing: cursive is stupid. https://t.co/fOuP0e3dAZ

Works for me. Maybe it will help bring an end to the idiocy of wasting classroom time teaching cursive writing. https://t.co/iDfQDlLJZV

It’s a first?
This may be the first US Treasury secretary to have a non-cursive signature.
Anyone able to find another example? These go back to 1914 -> https://t.co/yxN3JQr0mk https://t.co/DTESWZvmBd

Why do Treasury Sec Mnuchin and his wife insist on posing for photos that make them look like Bond villains? pic.twitter.com/2auZr3LGoP
