It's pretty hard to surprise Tony Schwartz with anything donald trump-related. After all, the man co-authored trump's biography, Art of the Deal. He's known our rat-fcker of an overlord for thirty years. Today's bombshell New York Times report, however, shattered even Schwartz's expectations and understanding of how deep trump's corruption reaches. He told Ari Melber:
SCHWARTZ: Oh my god, I knew it was bad, but I didn't believe -- this is a man who took hundreds of millions of dollars or fraudulently took hundreds of millions of dollars, and when his father was 85 and near senile, tried to write a codicil to his will to take over complete control of his empire. Why? Because Fred Trump was in the business of making money, and donald trump was in the business of losing money. And he lost money of Fred's. Throughout his career. It's like the cover has been ripped off this man. Whatever myth there was, as you said earlier, that he was a self-made man, or that he was even a legitimate businessman, is gone forever.
Melber talked about trump feeling like he had grown up in his father's shadow, and the need to make something of himself on his own. How despicable is the depth to which he would sink to conceal how much he owed his own fortunes to what he got from his father - some even without his father's knowledge - just to put on this facade of being a self-made man.
