Ghostwriter Says ‘Art of the Deal’ Should Be Fiction
May 8, 2019 at 7:06 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter for Donald Trump’s bestselling book, The Art of the Deal, tweeted that he would be fine if the book was “taken out of print” or “recategorized as fiction” after the New York Times detailed Trump’s $1.2 billion in business losses from 1985 to 1994.

It's a great article by Jane Mayer who does an awesome interview with Tony Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz's nondisclosure agreement had just expired a few months before the 2016 election, and he wasted no time telling what he knew about Chump.
