Art of the Deal Writer Tony Schwartz: Bombshell NYT Report Ends the Myth of Trump as a Self-Made Man
Source: Mediaite
Art of the Deal co-author Tony Schwartz said on MSNBC tonight he believed tax fraud and money laundering would end up as a bigger problem for Donald Trump than potential collusion, but the bombshell New York Times report today goes far beyond even what I thought had happened.

Its like the cover has been ripped off this man, he said. 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.
Schwartz called Trump a black hole who feels like a fraud, and added, What comes out tonight is he had good reason to feel like he was a fraud. He was a fraud. And he was committing fraud.

I think Donald Trump sitting in the White House tonight is probably feeling more enraged by this than by virtually anything that ever happened to him
This is a man who invented himself. Thats his claim to fame. He literally invented it from whole cloth. Theres nothing about him that is real. Now we really see that. And its extraordinary
I have to say the idea of who Donald Trump was that existed until today is gone forever.
