President Trump’s 1987 book “The Art of the Deal” helped make the real estate developer one of the most famous businessmen in America. Now the book’s co-author wants it taken out of print or reclassified as fiction.
Tony Schwartz, the journalist who is credited as the book’s co-author but has made frequent claims he wrote all of the book himself, made those suggestions in a Twitter post on Wednesday, following a New York Times report about Trump’s business losses in the 1980s and ’90s.
