Schwartz confirmed that long ago... Trump probably never even read it...hence, his stellar job on healthcare bill.

a politician or celebrity is actually ghost written. "The Art of the Deal" actually has Schwartz's name on the cover. But does anyone REALLY believe that Hillary or Bill Clinton, or either George Bush, just to name a handful, actually sat down and wrote the books with their name on the cover? The way it typically works is that the hired writer hangs out with the celebrity or politician until enough material is gathered, then goes off and does the actual writing. Sometimes there is a co-author credit, but most often not, and I'm pretty sure the contracts forbid the ghost writer from ever revealing their actual authorship.
