Tom Price's disgusting behavior

[Anonymous]

Trump said that Price's offer to reimburse 50k wasn't good enough. I wonder if he quit because he couldn't afford to pay back the full 400k or 1mn or whatever amount he wasted on private jets.

Trump also said that others in his cabinet had their own private jets so that's good. How people see Trump as a populist, I will never understand.

From CNN's analysis:

Mistake #1: Blaming the administration for all of this. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was quick to note Thursday that the White House had no pre-approval of Price's flights. (That doesn't mean Price was lying; it just means that no one inside the actual White House signed off.)
Mistake #2: Offering to repay $52,000 when the total cost of the flights was in excess of $1 million. "It was over when he offered to pay part of the cost," one House member who served with Price told CNN's Lauren Fox. "That's admitting full guilt without full penance." (Also: Don't underestimate the fact that Price's lack of major wealth and seeming reluctance to repay the whole million bucks played a role in upping Trump's annoyance.)
