Trump's ghostwriter tells all
This is what I found interesting:
Quote:Schwartz thought that “The Art of the Deal” would be an easy project.This is for me the most damming. You have a candidate for President with the attention span of a 6 year old. Who presented with a problem would probably go for the most simplistic solution. Or cannot be bothered with it. I am not asking for a Woodrow Wilson, but I'd like to have a President who wold think things through before he acts.
The book’s structure would be simple: he’d chronicle half a dozen or so
of Trump’s biggest real-estate deals, dispense some bromides about how
to succeed in business, and fill in Trump’s life story. For research, he
planned to interview Trump on a series of Saturday mornings. The first
session didn’t go as planned, however. After Trump gave him a tour of
his marble-and-gilt apartment atop Trump Tower—which, to Schwartz,
looked unlived-in, like the lobby of a hotel—they began to talk. But the
discussion was soon hobbled by what Schwartz regards as one of Trump’s
most essential characteristics: “He has no attention span.”
“Trump has been written about a thousand ways from Sunday, but this
fundamental aspect of who he is doesn’t seem to be fully understood,”
Schwartz told me. “It’s implicit in a lot of what people write, but it’s
never explicit—or, at least, I haven’t seen it. And that is that it’s
impossible to keep him focussed on any topic, other than his own
self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ”
Schwartz trailed off, shaking his head in amazement. He regards Trump’s
inability to concentrate as alarming in a Presidential candidate. “If he
had to be briefed on a crisis in the Situation Room, it’s impossible to
imagine him paying attention over a long period of time,” he said.
