'Art of the Deal' ghostwriter: Trump ‘frightened by black people’
The Hill ^ | November 23, 2017 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Posted on 11/23/2017 8:17:13 AM PST by ilovesarah2012

Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter behind President Trump's bestselling 1987 book "The Art of the Deal", says the president's recent attacks of LaVar Ball stem from Trump being "half awed and half frightened by black people."

Trump and Ball have gone back and forth through the media since Ball's son, LiAngelo Ball, and two other UCLA players were released from China after being detained for shoplifting earlier this month.

I call BS on the ghost writer. In any case, this should be career ending move by writer.

Well, I’ve never been around the man, but I don’t think Trump is afraid of any group of people.

EVERY ONE OF US can find ourselves in situations where we are wary of someone. If you don’t have some kind of a ‘spidey-sense’ and situational awareness, you’re not long for this world.

But it’s preposterous to say that the man is afraid of black people.

This “ghost writer” obviously is some sort of idiot. What he identifies as “fear” is really disgust at the thug culture...whatever the color of the perps.

I assess each new person I meet pretty quickly, no matter their outward appearance. I judge by character like MLK said, unlike our liberal counterparts who only see color.

I encountered 2 of Obama’s People recently. They quickly approached my truck driver’s side window (doors locked, windows up) as I was eating Chic-Fil-A in the parking lot. With my lunch in my lap, I instantly started the truck backed out to leave quickly, and they backed up from the truck in fear of being run over.

Since that day, I am using my concealed carry permit.

It took that incident, for me to get serious and start carrying.

I live in the country, in a ‘safe’ place, if there is any anymore, but when I “go to town” I am carrying from now on.

Next time 2 hoods approach me (a 50 year old woman), they’ll meet the barrel of my gun. I hope they crap their low hung pants.

When Trump used a ghost writer, he assumed this risk. A Republican can never know when a ghost writer is going to turn on him, backed by tons of liberal money to cover any legal fees resulting from a betrayal.


Which already shows this ghost writer is not a man of his word. So what is anything he says worth now?

Whenever people say that Trump’s a racist, I direct them to the video this woman made about the Trump family’s support of her: http://unfilteredpatriot.com/black-trump-employee-stands-up-for-her-boss/

BLM-type black people want to be feared

Freedom loving black people who share traditional American values do not

The BLM-types are screwing it up for everyone else

I’m neither frightened nor awed by any demographic, and I suspect President Trump feels the same. I am frightened of people who behave like thugs, which can include any racial group, but I’m perfectly comfortable around all civilized people. As for awe, you have to earn that - individually.

And don’t forget the homeless black woman that Donald Trump put up in his hotel for free forever because she didn’t have a home and had lived on the property before it was built, or something to that effect. There is a beautiful video out there from her too.

First of all, if you are listed as a “with” author on the front cover, you are not a “ghost writer”, you are one of the authors. Second, Donald Trump is Batman. He is not afraid of anything. ;-)
