(33,564 posts)21. According to Tony Schwartz the author of "Trump The Art of the Deal"
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all
Tony Schwartz was a reporter for The New Yorker magazine and he became the ghostwriter for Trump's bestseller book almost 25 years ago. He signed a confidentiality agreement, but it's expired now so he can talk about his experiences.
He absolutely corroborates everything even though Schwartz isn't quoted in the OP's article. The Cheeto hasn't read a book in his adult life and has an attention span of less than 5 minutes. He won't listen to anybody unless they're praising him and the only thing he cares about is praise in the media. The Art of the Deal was entirely written by Schwartz because Trump never contributed a single word during the writing and editing. He claims that Trump's vocabulary is only about 200 words, but in the early 1990's (there was no tweeting in those days) he did everything on the telephone.
According to Schwartz, Cheeto isn't capable of holding a normal interview-type of conversation because his attention span is so short.
This article is very interesting and telling about Cheeto's weaknesses.
