From Wikipedia:
Schwartz called ghost-writing the book his “greatest regret in life, without question,” and both he and the book’s publisher, Howard Kaminsky, alleged that Trump had played no role in its writing.
The funny thing is that Trump gave the store away to his ghost writer. Tony Schwartz got full co-author credit and half the profits, an unheard of deal for a celeb book.
Schwartz has spent all the time since telling the world what a terrible person Trump was and is.
Usually one needs to be able to read before they can successfully write. Trump does neither.
I mean, Homer is believed to have been blind.
And his works were oral, so technically not a writer.
Isn’t it widely known that he didn’t write the book.
Even back when this book was published he’d already had many failed businesses so it was fairly obvious that he wasn’t the shrewd business person he claimed to be.
No rich person ever writes their own books. It was always obvious
I didn’t know that but i kinda assumed the book was bullshit since it had his name on it
They can redeem themselves by writing Trump 2 The Art of the Moron.
There’s a chapter on how he built a hotel in there
You know, this super successful and beloved hotel
Maybe the real art of the deal was the sexual harassment cases we settled along the way.
Was ot auto pen?

Well yeah, the only famous people that actually write their own books are authors. If someone is famous for any other reason, they probably hired a ghost writer.

There are a few politicians who wrote their own (e.g. Churchill) but usually there is some sort of agenda involved in terms of how they want the world to see them.
