You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I just noticed it's credited to "Donald J. Trump with Tony Schwartz"
Which probably means this Schwartz guy did all the real writing and Trump added some stuff about what a great businessman he is.
This section here actually makes me a little more worried about Trump, because it's the kind of thing Romney had going for him except amped way, way up:
“Lying is second nature to him,” Schwartz said. “More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true.” Often, Schwartz said, the lies that Trump told him were about money—“how much he had paid for something, or what a building he owned was worth, or how much one of his casinos was earning when it was actually on its way to bankruptcy.” [...] “He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it.” Since most people are “constrained by the truth,” Trump’s indifference to it “gave him a strange advantage.”
I'm glad he put the profit he made from the book to good use, but he really did kind of inadvertently start the whole mess, and it sucks because it really wasn't his fault

This what most of his former business partners have said, too...

Can something "start to tank" if it already began at rock bottom?
