Louise Linton is the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. She wrote a memoir in 2016 about her time in Africa that was regarded as telling the story of a “white savior.”
A former Scottish actress, Linton, 35, got engaged to the former Goldman Sachs partner in November 2015. A year later, it was announced that Mnuchin was then U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to become U.S. Treasury Secretary.
Trump pick of Mnuchin caused an outcry from supports who reminded the president he vilified Goldman Sachs in most of his controversial campaigns speeches.

Linton caused an uproar on social media after posting a photo of her and her husband leaving a military jet with U.S. government markings after a quick trip to Kentucky to meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Great #daytrip to #Kentucky!” Linton wrote, with hashtags for the brands behind her expensive wardrobe – rolandmouret, #hermesscarf, #tomford and #valentino.
Linton surprised many by responding to the controversy in what some called a ‘condescending tone.’
““Aw!!! Did you think this was a personal trip?! Adorable,” Linton wrote. “Do you think the US govt paid for our honeymoon or personal travel?! Lololol. Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?” source
