'Art Of The Deal' Ghostwriter: I've Never Seen Trump 'More Out Of Control'
Donald Trumps former ghostwriter Tony Schwartz said Wednesday that in all the decades hes known the president, hes never seen the man more frightening, out of control and disconnected with reality than he is now.
Schwartz, who helped write Trump: The Art of the Deal, spent more than 18 months in his inner circle before its 1987 publication. In a Wednesday interview on CNN, host Brianna Keilar asked Schwartz to weigh in on whether the president genuinely struggles to distinguish between whats real and not ― an observation from journalist Bob Woodward after 18 interviews with Trump ― or if hes simply, in the words of his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, a con man.
Schwartz said its become confusing even to him.
I have never found in all the years Ive known Trump, especially the last four years of his presidency, to be more frightening and more out of control and more out of touch with reality than he is today, he said. I mean, we are in a relentless gaslighting in which he does lie and deceive multiple times a day, much more often than he tells the truth. And hes just stopped pretending at all.
