To write his memoirs, Donald Trump a little abandoned ...
“I seriously doubt Trump ever read a book in his adult life. The sentence, painful for the person concerned, comes from his ghostwritter, Tony Schwartz. While the former President of the United States is offered record amounts for books and television, the writer has just objected to an end of no return.
