The Whistleblowers (Series): #20 - Donald Trump's Biographer Comes ...

Many whistleblowers expose wrongdoing, fraud and corruption that could effect our collective security and wellbeing. The case of Tony Schwartz is no different, however, in his case he is admitting to having committed a form of fraud, but his admittance is done in an attempt to protect us from an even greater 'trickster' - the current 'President of the United States of America'.

For those who have studied the history of America's presidents in at least the last 70 years, it is apparent that many of them are either hugely corrupt or hugely corrupted once in office by what Carroll Quigley, Ivy League Historian called 'The Network'. In the case of Donald Trump, his own main Biographer wishes to come clean about how he mislead the world by creating a total work of fiction in the form of a famous biography of Trump which the world took to be an accurate image of a great business man, but was in truth a lie. While many Trump supporters may wish to 'brush this under the carpet' - the fact remains that Tony Schwartz's apology and testimony raise serious questions about the man who now has at least some degree of sway over the directing of one of this world's largest ever military forces.

the art of the deal

Note: Donald Trump had a second 'unofficial' biographer who also came forward during the time of his election campaign to make clear that he too agrees with Tony Schwartz's assessment of Donald Trump's character and behavior in private.

Tony Schwartz's Background

Tony had a long career as a journalist, beginning in 1975 - during which he worked for the New York Post, was Associate Editor at Newsweek, was a reporter for The New York Times and writer for New York Magazine and Esquire.

In 1985 he began interviewing the, then, mostly unknown property developer 'Donald Trump' and almost by chance he was given the job of writing the famous, bestselling biography of Trump 'The Art of the Deal'. Tony states that Donald Trump had no part in writing the book and that Trump simply edited out a few sections relating to business connections he didn't want mentioned.

Whistleblowing Testimony

Tony have several public presentations during Donald Trump's election campaign to attempt to come clean about his part in the creation of a public image of Trump that is entirely false and misleading.

Tony States on Trump:

He has a long history of mistreating tenants in his owned properties - including using dirty tricks to attempt to force tenants to leave his apartments when he wanted them out, but had no legal justification for ejecting them.
"He has a stunningly short attention span" and is unable to focus on a topic for more than five minutes.
While visiting Trump's Florida home - "He had almost no interest in his wife, Ivana, or his children".
After listening in on Trump's phone calls for 18 months in order to get insight and material for writing the book - Tony became aware that Trump had 'an utter disregard for the truth and absolutely no conscience about that', 'he is guided entirely by his immediate self interest' and had 'no ability at all to accept that he is ever wrong about anything'. 'To this day, lying is second nature to him and just one more way to gain advantage'.
Trump is 'cynical and one dimensional'.
Trump had no 'deep convictions or guiding core values - which helps explain why he could shift positions so effortlessly and unashamedly from one day to the next' - he was simply out for money and praise of himself.
His main passion was proving to others that he was a success and then broadcasting that 'fact' to everyone that he could.
Trump's only noticeable emotion was anger, which he would often use in a fake way to manipulate others.
His ideology amounted to "Whatever! So long as I win and people notice".
