For anyone who enjoyed the book The Art of the Deal, or those who only have heard of it - we all know that Trump, who can barely read, certainly didn't write it. His ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, later publicly repented for having misled the public in making Trump look admirable. And now, after having spent so much time with Trump, the author wrote a careful assessment of Trump as a psychopath. Unfortunately, the site, Medium, requires an account (https://medium.com/) but here are some other articles that will give you the idea.


The Psychopath in Chief
How do we deal with a person whose core impulse in every part of his life is to deny, deceive, deflect, disparage, and double-down every time he is challenged? And what precisely is the danger such a person poses if he also happens to be the leader of the free world, during a crisis in which thousands of people are dying every day, with no letup in sight?

‘Art of the Deal’ ghostwriter: ‘Psychopath’ Trump is ‘driven by an insatiable narcissistic hunger’ and an obsessive ‘need to dominate’

"Art of the Deal" ghostwriter: Trump is "driven by an insatiable narcissistic hunger"
"His primary goal is to win at any cost, and the end always justifies the means."

I agree. I'm sure he spent a lot more time with Trump, including one-on-one time, in comparison with some of the people who wrote exposés, like Michael Wolff, who wrote Fire and Fury.

Art of the Deal sucks. Doesn't even deserve to be called a book.

Now the terrible ghostwriter is a doctor? Ok.

Four more years.

And wouldn't you think that one reason the Art of the Deal Sucks is its subject matter?
