After a bombshell New York Times report uncovering nearly a decade worth of President Donald Trump's tax transcripts from 1984 to 1995 revealed that Trump had lost a total of nearly $1 billion, many people's suspicions that Trump isn't the brilliant businessman he claims to be were confirmed.

The ghost author of Trump's business how-to book Trump: The Art of the Deal is adding fuel to the fire. The journalist and author Tony Schwartz has spoken out against Trump multiple times before, but in light of the new reports, he's discrediting the book he wrote as well—calling for it to be taken out of print or recategorized as fiction.


During the 2016 election, Trump said that The Art of the Deal was "the best-selling business book of all time." Like many of Trump's claims, that turned out not to be true.

Other critics of Trump were quick to agree with Schwartz.

Some questioned Schwartz about his role in perpetuating the perception of Trump as a successful businessman despite being in mountains of debt.

AG Pam Bondi's Brother Blames 'Rabid Partisans' After Getting Absolutely Walloped In DC Election

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has often bragged about his overwhelming victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming he won by a landslide. But while he did manage to finally win a popular vote in 2024, something he lost in 2016 and 2020, it was hardly a landslide.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.

Kristi Noem's Past Views On National Guard Come Back To Bite Her After She Backs Trump Amid LA Protests

California Governor Gavin Newsom called out the hypocrisy of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after sharing a clip from last year showing she'd once criticized the Biden administration for considering deploying the National Guard when Democrats suggested it as a response to Texas' immigration crackdown at the time.
