Charles Krauthammer said a tweet sent by President Trump earlier Friday reminded him of a mafia boss rather than the president of the United States.

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2017

"James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!" Trump tweeted.

"Now we have a new rabbit to chase down another rabbit hole," Krauthammer said.

After Trump tweeted the remark, a firestorm ensued in the press.

Krauthammer said any lasting damage from the remark is "self-inflicted."

He said that by referring to possible recordings of conversations, Trump raised a possibility that no one could have imagined.

"That sounds more like a mafia boss than a president of a free republic," he said.
