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.

    Maybe the real art of the deal was the sexual harassment cases we settled along the way.

    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.

    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.

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

    Usually one needs to be able to read before they can successfully write. Trump does neither.
