Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary and Trump donor, is criticized on social media for showcasing a $1,200 tequila bottle. The video, shared on X, drew mixed reactions as users expressed astonishment at his display of wealth during economic difficulties. Many highlighted the insensitivity, especially following recent legislation affecting Medicaid and food assistance. Lutnick's previous comments, suggesting that seniors wouldn't mind missing a Social Security check, further fueled the perception of elitism. Additionally, concerns lingered over his support for Trump's tariffs, which analysts claim impact consumers more than foreign goods.
