Tony Schwartz wrote Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal for a pretty chunk of change (a quarter of a million plus half of all royalties), but now says he regrets doing so:
“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.”
