The Art of the Deal was 'credited' to Donald Trump and journalist Tony Schwartz.
In 2016 Trump cited it as one of his proudest accomplishments and his second-favorite book after the Bible.
Schwartz and the book's publisher, Howard Kaminsky, said that Trump had played no role in the actual writing of the book. Trump has given conflicting accounts on the question of authorship.
According to Schwartz, Trump wrote none of the book, choosing only to remove a few critical mentions of business colleagues at the end of the process. Trump responded with conflicting stories, saying "I had a lot of choice of who to have write the book, and I chose [Schwartz]", but then said "[Schwartz] didn't write the book. I wrote the book."
Former Random House head Howard Kaminsky, the book's original publisher, said "Trump didn’t write a postcard for us!"
