Pulitzer-winning journalist says Trump “thinks he’s a dictator” as IRS misses tax return deadline
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Cay Johnston said that President Donald Trump was a dictator in the making, after the IRS missed a second House committee deadline to hand over Trump's tax returns.
“They can play this game for a while, but not very long,” Johnston told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Tuesday evening after the deadline passed, saying the Treasury Department would now use the letter of the law to delay what will eventually become a legal fight in the courts. “What you're seeing is a dictator in the making,” Johnston told Cuomo, later adding: “Donald doesn't know what's in the Constitution, he thinks he's a dictator, and he's moving to turn this country into a Trump dictatorship.”
“The president won fairly and squarely. He is the president, and no one cares about ridiculous charges about tax returns and all types of other things Democrats are doubling down on today.”
