Mark Simone addressed this story today on his show and he came to that conclusion.
Thanks for saying that. It is really an article that could affect anyone if they read it somewhere (the subscribers wouldn’t vote trump anyway). It depicts the best things about Trump, his success and his deal making ability, as being fake or lies. It needs refuting by the Donald himself, but to do so, Donald has to castigate his cowriter. Or castrate him, whichever works... ;). If Donald can’t do it, it will make people wonder if it’s true. I didn’t like reading it myself. Maybe one of his sons can slam the guy, giving Donald a little cushion.
