Carl Bernstein: Trump Has Created 'First Grifter Presidency' In America's History

“Donald Trump and his family are grifters,” the famed Watergate reporter said on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday morning. “He has created the first grifter presidency in the history of the United States in which his purpose in running for the presidency and exercising the powers of the presidency ― the fundamental reason is to bail himself and his family out.”.

The New York Times, which obtained more than two decades’ worth of Trump’s tax records, described a gathering storm of financial threats as the president’s property and business struggles, his tax audit battle and his more than $421 million in debts converge.

The Times also reported that Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017.
