Starting in late 1985, Schwartz spent eighteen months with Trump—camping out in his office, joining him on his helicopter, tagging along at meetings, and spending weekends with him at his Manhattan apartment and his Florida estate. During that period, Schwartz felt, he had got to know him better than almost anyone else outside the Trump family
“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.”
Trump has the attention span of a five year old that's high on candy. lol
'... it’s impossible to keep him focused on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ” Schwartz trailed off, shaking his head in amazement. He regards Trump’s inability to concentrate as alarming in a Presidential candidate. “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,” he said..."
The thread has been mistitled...
Who said I was?
Oh, I just assumed...
I'm still confused why you would you assume that.
It's Trump's official biographer.
I'm just playin' with ya', Moot.
Schwartz hasn't had notable work since 2014 and he's taken down at least one of his own official websites. The Art Of The Deal came out in 1987.
So?
Schwartz of all people would know what Trump is really like (besides his family) since he had to write Trump's life story and in order to do that he had to get to know him as a person.
So - the people who believe that about Trump (which I do) ..... do you also believe this about Hillary?

Writers don't always have to work. They often, like Schwartz, collect royalties. Incidentally, with the Trump campaign pushing Art of The Deal, Schwartz has been collecting more royalties.Schwartz hasn't had notable work since 2014 and he's taken down at least one of his own official websites.

Proving (or disproving) the genuineness of an anonymous second-hand report of information supposedly provided by an equally anonymous Secret Service agent is a formidable task, but several factors tend to indicate this piece is more likely something created for partisan political reasons than an actual Secret Service agent's account:
As Time magazine noted as far back as 1993, cranking out spurious stories that discredited Hillary Clinton and were attributed to anonymous Secret Service agents was a known political trick:
A Republican consultant told a network newscaster that his job was to make sure Hillary Clinton is discredited before the 1996 campaign. Each day anti-Hillary talking points go out to talk-show hosts. The rumor machine is cranking out bogus stories about her face (lifted), her sex life (either nonexistent or all too active) and her marriage (a sham). Many of the stories are attributed to the Secret Service in an attempt to give the tales credibility.

Not surprised. When I searched this, the first few links were all conservative rags with terrible journalistic reputations. The very next one was Snopes.
I didn't say it was proven, just like this Trump story isn't proven.
How do you prove that someone stationed outside the oval office saw the things he said he saw?
You believe him or you don't.
After all, he did testify to Ken Starr about Bubba.
Does that swing any truth pendulums?
Only one problem with that.
There is no "him." They don't even give a name, or a particular station, of the person or people who are supposedly saying this. There's good reason for that: because this is totally made up.
If you're referring to Melanson, he doesn't corroborate any of these accounts about Hillary.
I'm talking about Gary Byrne. He was a Uniformed Secret Service officer stationed outside the Oval Office. He testified in the Bill Clinton affair.
