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.
I’m just surprised that he’s lying “strategically”. I would’ve guessed “by compulsion”. I also don’t believe he has enough going on upstairs to be all that strategic about things.
This was 40 years ago so I’m willing to believe he was able to strategise. It just degenerated into mad ramblings as time went on.
This bum was never strategic. He just had enough of daddy’s money to keep fucking up without consequences.
He’s a psychopath. What did you expect?
Face consequences. Is it too much?
More realistic back of head profile
Anyone who will believe this already knows that Trump lies non-stop. Anyone who does not recognize Trump for the liar andcon man he is by now isn’t going to have their mind changed.
If you have never encountered someone like this or maybe you have and you don’t know it … it is a horrible experience to be in confidence with someone who as an adult uses constant lies as a strategy.
It will fuck up your worldview for many many years.
At a previous work place a second line manager was like this. He would tell people one thing and them in meetings tell his superior something else, even with the same people present. It got to a point that people avoided meetings with the guy without someone else as witness and my manager got the habit to document the meetings and forward to all parts as an email to have a paper trail. That paper trail came in hand at least a couple of times. I didn’t deal directly with the guy but people say it was exhausting. Finally the company ler him go during a season with a lot of people quiting after one too many people cited him as a reason for leave the company.

On the other hand it didn’t bother him enough back then not to keep going with the ghost writing job
This was 1985. Trump was just a run-of-the-mill sleazebag back then.
I think we can give the ghostwriter a pass on this being “just a job”. If anything, it’s pretty damning to have the ghostwriter of your one bestselling book call you a liar, which he’s been saying since 2016.
In 1985 I’m pretty sure that Trump was an already-famous billionaire known for his success with real estate. It wasn’t necessarily earned but that is what people thought. I’m just pointing out that it kind of takes a sleazebag to take that job.
If ghostwriters only worked for people of upstanding moral character, they wouldn’t work much.
Good. Falsifying reputations for money is a damnable industry.
Okay so then we shouldn’t really care what any ghostwriters say? We already knew trump lies as much as he breathes. WaPo had that database documenting his lies with tens of thousands of fact checked entries. Not normal, even for typical known liars.
Because they spend a lot of time being very close to their clients?
Your comment doesn’t make sense to me.
Because they help shitty people come off as good and sometimes that allows said shitty people to the ability to do a lot of harm… ?
I wonder if the one person that downvoted this thinks Trump always tells the truth.
He’s not very smart and he has a visible personality disorder.
Everyone who’s ever parted ways with him describes him like a lecherous toddler.
Just what you look for in a President of one of the worlds most powerful countries
