"Art of the Deal" ghostwriter: There's no way Trump will give $1 million to Harvey victims
‘Art of the Deal’ ghostwriter: There’s no way Trump will give $1 million to Harvey victims
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/art-of-the-deal-ghostwriter-theres-no-way-trump-will-give-1-million-to-harvey-victims/
Tony Schwartz — the author who ghost wrote President Donald Trump’s biggest bestselling book The Art of the Deal — said on Friday that Trump’s pledge to give $1 million to victims of Hurricane Harvey is an empty bluff.
“No way Trump donates $1m of own money to Harvey victims. He only promises to give. Never actually does,” said Schwartz on Twitter, according to the Hill.
“Trump didn’t fit any model of human being I’d ever met. He was obsessed with publicity, and he didn’t care what you wrote,” said Schwartz in 2016. “It’s impossible to keep him focused on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes.”
“Lying is second nature to him,” he wrote. “More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true.”
