The Art of the Deal, Trump & Gaza
Donald Trump’s image is all about being successful in business (quite the reverse as the record shows) and being a brilliant deal maker.
Indeed Donald Trump wrote the Art of the Deal, or rather he didn’t. It was in fact written by Tony Schwarz who suggested the idea so Trump could fulfil a contact he had signed. As Daniel Finkelstein noted in the Times recently, Trump couldn’t write a book, he didn’t even read them.
For Trump the art of the deal is about the process of doing the deal. How it works out is not so important. There’s always another deal to be done.
