[h=1]DONALD TRUMP’S GHOSTWRITER TELLS ALL[/h]Trump’s Boswell Speaks - The New Yorker
Last June, as dusk fell outside Tony Schwartz’s sprawling house, on a leafy back road in Riverdale, New York, he pulled out his laptop and caught up with the day’s big news: Donald J. Trump had declared his candidacy for President. As Schwartz watched a video of the speech, he began to feel personally implicated.
Trump, facing a crowd that had gathered in the lobby of Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue, laid out his qualifications, saying, “We need a leader that wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ” If that was so, Schwartz thought, then he, not Trump, should be running. Schwartz dashed off a tweet: “Many thanks Donald Trump for suggesting I run for President, based on the fact that I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ”
Schwartz had ghostwritten Trump’s 1987 breakthrough memoir, earning a joint byline on the cover, half of the book’s five-hundred-thousand-dollar advance, and half of the royalties. The book was a phenomenal success, spending forty-eight weeks on the Times best-seller list, thirteen of them at No. 1. More than a million copies have been bought, generating several million dollars in royalties. The book expanded Trump’s renown far beyond New York City, making him an emblem of the successful tycoon. Edward Kosner, the former editor and publisher of New York, where Schwartz worked as a writer at the time, says, “Tony created Trump. He’s Dr. Frankenstein.”
Starting in late 1985, Schwartz spent eighteen months with Trump—camping out in his office, joining him on his helicopter, tagging along at meetings, and spending weekends with him at his Manhattan apartment and his Florida estate. During that period, Schwartz felt, he had got to know him better than almost anyone else outside the Trump family. Until Schwartz posted the tweet, though, he had not spoken publicly about Trump for decades. It had never been his ambition to be a ghostwriter, and he had been glad to move on. But, as he watched a replay of the new candidate holding forth for forty-five minutes, he noticed something strange: over the decades, Trump appeared to have convinced himself that he had written the book. Schwartz recalls thinking, “If he could lie about that on Day One—when it was so easily refuted—he is likely to lie about anything.”
“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.”
Sobering thought for sure.

Hello - If you don't have any reasons NOT to vote for trump then you are not reading enough articles or listening to a wide enough group of pundits.

This is trmp's co -author on The ARft of the Deal. He regrets writing the book. (let's face it, it is highly doubtful trump spent any time writing the book, the co author did.)

Sirk; said:
The Bible commands that you pray for your leader. But since you do not respect the Bible's teachings you continue to spew hatred upon President Obama. Despite all the obstructionism and hate put upon him by the anti-USA Republicans, his record of accomplishments FAR exceed those of his Republican predecessors.
Deal with it.
After you call me a hateful person. You're as phony and self deceived as they come.
Notice again - another emotional outburst filled with more hate and innuendo.
Forum right wingers just cannot respond with FACTS but do so with emotionalism and hate.

In the last 2 weeks here have I been called a right winger hater war monger, and also a liberal cop hater, and to a devout Christian. Not to mention the food police. I am getting confused as to who I am.

With all due respect, this is delusional to say President Obama has "accomplishments"? Is promoting the gay lifestyle an accomplishment? Is reducing VA hospital funding? Is the sham/trainwreck of Obamacare? The bank bailouts? The automotive bailouts? Race-baiting? IRS taxing opponents? censorship of free speech? supporting abortion/planned parenthood? Bringing in illegal immigrants by way of unchecked borders, UPS dropping refugees off at jfk and other airports? Islamic sympathy?
The only accomplishment he has is being the first black president that's it
The rest is all abomination or more pertinently O-baminations...and his "accomplishments" are bs.
