An extremely insightful 7 minute interview into Trump's mind (Which he refers to as a "blackhole") by the author of his, "the art of the deal." This guy spent a lot of time with Trump and knows the inner workings of his mind as well as anyone. His conclusion is that Trump will "declare victory and resign."

Interviews with Schwartz are always so interesting. He has some really crazy stuff to say about Trump, especially in relation to his attention span and relationship (or lack of relationship) with the written word.
Trump and Schwartz do not like each other. Trump hates Schwartz for taking credit for the book he wrote about Trump. Schwartz hates Trump because of all he saw while preparing to write the book.
Schwartz is probably correct. Trump has a long history of suddenly quitting and walking away from projects that ran into trouble.
He tends to stick with a failing project for too long, then, when the pressures grow strong enough, Trump will suddenly quit fighting and just drop it all like it never existed.
We all saw this many times in the campaign. He would make some strong claim or statement, use it for as long as it drew applause and approval, and then drop it as soon as the applause stopped, and never mention it again. He's done it all his life.
Swartz spent 2 years with him, right at his side, recording almost everything that was said and done. Trump often hauled him into closed meetings to record how he closed a deal, and Swartz saw him dropping multi-million dollar projects many times, without a thought to them afterward.
Once he gives up, it's as if everything that came before never existed. They do hate each other now, but that only began at the second printing of the book. Swartz had an agreement with Trump he honored for the first printing, but he was supposed to get cover credits on the editions to follow, if there were any, and Trump denied his name to go on the cover.
Swartz took him to court, and won. And that caused the split. After Swartz got the cover credit he wanted, he said nothing at all about Trump for years afterward, and only came forward long after the book had quit selling. He first began talking about Trump before Trump ever entered the race; his observations on Trump were already pretty well known by then.
The cover credit thing has often caused a book to fail expectations, because readers become unsure who is actually speaking in the book- the ghost writer or the name on the cover.
Glen Beck got around this recently when he purchased a fiction mystery that was written and self-published by an unknown female writer. He bought the rights to the book, the publication rights, and the rights to use the author's name for that book.
It cost him a pretty penny- much more than a standard ghost writer's contract- but it avoided a possible lawsuit later on that could have cost even more in damages.
Most ghost writers get some credit- sometimes in small print on the cover, other times with mutual writer's credit, and sometimes on the title page inside. It all depends on the writer and the contract.
