'Art of the Deal' ghostwriter: Trump ‘frightened by black people’
The Hill ^ | November 23, 2017 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Posted on 11/23/2017 8:17:13 AM PST by ilovesarah2012

Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter behind President Trump's bestselling 1987 book "The Art of the Deal", says the president's recent attacks of LaVar Ball stem from Trump being "half awed and half frightened by black people."

Trump and Ball have gone back and forth through the media since Ball's son, LiAngelo Ball, and two other UCLA players were released from China after being detained for shoplifting earlier this month.

I have never seen anyone take verbal abuse like Trump does.
I do think his being elected was ordained by Almighty God.
How else could he have made it through? I never even watched The Apprentice, and was not that aware of him until I saw him and Melania “come down the golden escalator” to announce his candidacy. Then I saw almost every Trump Rally on C-SPAN, and my love for his ideas grew steadily. My husband was skeptical, but I ‘made him’ watch rallies with me, and he too saw the light and is a Trump supporter with me.

He is number one in my book. Right up there with Ronald Reagan. I think I actually love him more than Reagan.

America will be changed for the better, hugely, bigly, after 8 years of this Lion, Donald J. Trump.

Have a great Thanksgiving, I have to go prepare 10 pounds of mashed potatoes!

When leaving my house and going almost anywhere, I drive an additional three minutes to avoid driving through a Black neighborhood.

My neighbor ridiculed me until one Saturday night at 9:00pm he told me that when he went through that neighborhood, Black Yutes were blocking the road traffic...he and his wife became frightened. This is in a rural area.

"Situational awareness is an American weakness. We rarely have any."

I recall a piece of advice that serves well in a hostile world: Always have a plan to kill everyone within sight and hope you don't need to use it.

“What a backstabbing creep!”

I’m sure he’s been well compensated to “divulge” this at this time.

Schwartz has been tweeting attacks on Trump for a while. He predicted that Trump would resign a while back. He probably has a private feud going o with the President.

And it’s getting better; the incoherent bitching by members of the underclass, about Trump, I am, alas, in a position to hear, has declined to zero in the past month, month and a half. Maybe it’s the improving economy, maybe it’s the constant media drumbeat (everyone sees through that at this point), maybe it’s the obstacles placed in the President’s way by the POS’s in Congress, and in some way, maybe it’s the radical racist kneelers of the NFL, they piss off older people in general, irrespective of pigmentation.

I know he doesn’t fear Omorosa but the “ghost writer” should.

“the picture of Trump with Ben Carson”

I’ll never forget that gesture by Trump.

Yep. I have such mixed feeling about American blacks. But, they are definitely their own worst enemies. Talk about wasting golden opportunities for themselves; nowhere else gave them the opportunities that America did, and now the window is closing on them. Once whites are a minority, all minority entitlements will end.

I seriously doubt Trump is afraid of anyone.

He is a bada$$ muthafunker who you do NOT want to cross.

Trump wrote that book while living in a city that was itself scared of black people. I was caught in two wilding attacks in the 80s as well as once rescuing a Korean girl from a wolf pack. Actually, the black man who wielded the bat to break up the pack, was a real hero.

So Trump was afraid of the black girl he dated for two years before he met Melania?

Also, if you’ve read The Art of The Deal, it’s Trump talking, just the way he talks now.

I suspect that Schwartz just organized Trump’s notes and dictations in an orderly fashion. I sincerely doubt he actually ‘wrote’ much of it.
