Related: About this forumHow terrible is Trump? This terrible.
Political Wire:
Tony Schwartz, who was the ghost writer for Donald Trumps The Art of the Deal, talks to the New Yorker:
I put lipstick on a pig, he said. I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is. He went on, I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.
If he were writing The Art of the Deal today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, The Sociopath.

Actually being lied about in the process
Irony unbounded
Edit to correct: The author is being being lied about by 2 posters in GD16. Gee, wonder why......

I read the article and am more horrified than ever. My opinion of Trump went down and I didn't know that was possible.
