Donald Trump’s Ghostwriter Tells All #DonaldTrump

[Gov Bean Counter]

Rollin Rollin Rollin...

Here's one to ponder. I had the misfortune to actually meet Trump back in 04. At that time, he was known as a germaphobe, he wouldn't shake hands with anyone.


Now all of a sudden, he's shaking hands, And kissing babies?   Does anyone else see the problem with his picture?

Conservatives are supposed to be the ones who can think for themselves.

Does that include Trump who lacks the mental fortitude to write his own books himself?

Too late now.
If he really cared, he'd have had this out there in late January instead of late July.
I'd say he's a Democrat.

He probably is.  He probably also thought that there was no way DT could win the candidacy, so why put his story out there?  In hindsight he was wrong.

Maybe, but what he says about 'Trump's character is the important info in this piece. This man spent many, many weeks with Trump.

 "“Lying is second nature to him,” Schwartz said. “More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true.”


Schwartz says of Trump, “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth,” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.”

When challenged about the facts, Schwartz says, Trump would often double down, repeat himself, and grow belligerent.

As for Trump’s anger toward him, he said, “I don’t take it personally, because the truth is he didn’t mean it personally. People are dispensable and disposable in Trump’s world.” If Trump is elected President, he warned, “the millions of people who voted for him and believe that he represents their interests will learn what anyone who deals closely with him already knows—that he couldn’t care less about them.”"

That his pathologies are so classic makes it all the more bizarre so many people are fooled by it.  Anyone with a bit of psychology knowledge would recognize these things and not believe him.  But I guess not everyone knows even the basics of abnormal psych.
