Do you know that the art of the deal wasn't written at all by trump, and the guy who wrote it doesn't support him?

Hi wikibob, yes I am aware of that and the article where the ghost writer laments his association with Trump post the book being published.

However that does not invalidate my point... which is that by reading the book one can better understand Trump's approach to the media and what I believe will be his approach to the presidency.

So, in spite of the ghost writer, consider that Trump did put his name to the book and endorse it, therefore I think it is reasonable to assume that he was happy with the contents. Certainly if the roles were reversed I believe anyone would read a book about themselves and insist on changes if there were major errors prior to publishing.
