Donald Trump's 'Art Of the Deal' Ghost Writer Tells All
“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."
Schwartz believes that Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.” During the eighteen months that he observed Trump, Schwartz said, he never saw a book on Trump’s desk, or elsewhere in his office, or in his apartment.
