    Quoting  :

Trump didn't write it, a ghost writer did.

He gives a lengthy interview on the video site beginning with you and ending with the name of hollow cylindrical object.

Worth a listen.

The ghost's name is Tony Schwartz.

He now regrets what he wrote.
He got to know Trump quite well in the process of writing the book.

If he did the book now, a far different picture would emerge.

There are lots of references to Schwartz and his current view on the web.

Glad to help.

Trump's claim that he wrote it is just another reason to place little faith in what he says.

WHAT?????
You mean you ADMIT you were mistaken? WOW. Unlike some who SWEAR Trump was going to play golf this weekend, when it was Obama who was planning to play golf.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

By the same reasoning, would it not be plausible to say you would put little faith is what Obama says because he also used a ghost writer?
I think many busy people have ideas for books, and have others do the actual writing based on their ideas.

The issue isn't using a ghost.
The issue is claiming you wrote it yourself.
Ghost writing is very common.

In some cases the person being written about is deeply invloved.

In Trump's case, according to Schwartz, he had nothing to do with the actual writing.

Socialist error?

I hope you realize how silly this sounds to people outside the US.

Almost as funny as accusing the New York Times of liberal bias.
