Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Sunday dismissed “nonsense” claims by The Wall Street Journal editorial board calling him “a Keynesian whose idea of compromise is half of whatever” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wants.

Sometimes they have good things to say, and sometimes it’s nonsense, like this case. As I’ve said before, I don’t agree to anything that I don’t review with the president.
