Someone going by Meredith McIver has been a contributor to "his" books for 12 years. Whether that person had anything to do with the speech is another question. But:

A) trump didn't write those books by himself
B) they are "how to" books. Trump wouldn't give credit to a fake person. He'd take more credit for himself.

"Meredith McIver" is another one of the Tangerine Tyrant's aliases.

So you throw your hands up and say "FUCK IT! I GIVE UP!" And then you go with the emotions churned up in your gut. Which often lead you wrong.
