The ghostwriter for Donald Trump's bestseller, Trump: Art of the Deal, predicted that the president would let his children go to jail to protect himself.
While speaking to a group at the University of Michigan on Sunday, Tony Schwartz shared some of his insights about Trump.
WYNC's Beth Fertig reported some of Schwartz's remarks on Twitter, including the assertion that Trump would forsake his children if it meant saving himself. Schwartz also observed that Trump's offspring suffered from "Stockholm Syndrome", making them complicit in his activities.
