In hostile interviews with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Thursday, both NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America parroted the same liberal smear about Donald Trump’s tax returns to bash the President’s tax reform plan. Hosts on the respective morning shows did the Democrats’ bidding as they again demanded Trump release his returns.
On Today, co-host Matt Lauer snidely remarked to Mnuchin: “Mr. Secretary, you’ve said the President has already revealed a lot of financial information, more than anyone. We could argue about that for an entire other segment.” He then insisted: “But doesn’t it make your job harder to go out and sell a tax plan that’s going to impact every American’s tax returns when the President of the United States has not been transparent with his own tax returns?”
