A roundup of editorials Friday asks why President Donald Trump’s Cabinet feels so entitled and how an “anti-waste” campaigner comes to think it’s OK to use taxpayer money to fly in private jets.

3. Price's pricey planes
From U.S. News and World Report: Where is the leadership when three Cabinet members are under investigation for the waste of the resources of agencies they lead?
