Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer for Trump's book "The Art of the Deal" admits that the book was āfull of falsehoods.ā Schwartz said.
Ā "Lying is second nature to him. 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.
Ā He said that Trump had no ideology or beliefs, except that he should prevail in the end.
Ā "Trumpās temperament and his habits have hardened with age." Schwartz said. "He was always cartoonish, but compared with the man for whom I wrote The Art of the Deal 30 years ago, he is significantly angrier today: more reactive, deceitful, distracted, vindictive, impulsive and, above all, self-absorbed."
Ā "Every American ought to be concerned about his character." Schwartz said..

John Dean served as White House counsel to Nixon from 1970 to 73, he was a key figure in the Watergate sagaāparticipating in, and then helping to expose, the most iconic political scandal in modern U.S. history at the time. Today Dean believes Trump could be one of the most corrupt presidents everāand get away with it.
āThe American presidency has never been at the whims of an authoritarian personality like Donald Trump,ā Dean stated. āHe is going to test our democracy as it has never been tested."
Dean stated that he is not only convinced that Trump will be worse than Nixon in virtually every wayāhe thinks heāll probably get away with it.
āI used to have one-on-one conversations with Nixon, where Iād see him checking his more authoritarian tendencies,ā Dean recalled. āHeād say, āThis is something I canāt say out loud...ā or, āThat is something the president canāt do.āā To Dean, these moments suggested a functioning sense of shame in Nixon, something he was forced to wrestle with in his quest for power. Trump, by contrast, appears to Dean unmolested by any such struggle."Ā Dean went even further in his assessment, stating: āI donāt think Richard Nixon even comes close to the level of corruption we already know about Trump.ā
