The story of the publication of "The Art Of The Deal" is hilarious.
Trump gave the store away; he let the 'ghost' writer get his name on the cover and take half the profits from the book. No other ghost writer has ever gotten a deal that good.
And the writer spent the next few decades telling anyone who'd listen that Trump was a giant idiot.
The ghost writer said he has a deep regret now, because he feels like he had a lot to do with rebranding Trump's public image away from "a big loudmouth crook and dumb liar who is full of shit at all times" and into "and that's a GOOD thing, because he keeps winning!"
I'm a native New Yorker and Trump was mocked here for decades.
The people who hated him first were the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to join.
When he built his Tower he promised to preserve the façade of the building he was razing. After publicly swearing he had the whole thing obliterated.
Yeah, every single person in NYC knew he was a massive piece of shit. I meant a little more the public perception outside of that, where he was this kind of lovable rule-breaking rogue instead of just a facade destroying rapist who didn't pay his people.
