    PSA: this is NOT about Tony Schwartz who ghost-wrote the Artlessness of the Deal and later did penance by speaking out against The Don. I still like to point out that he predicted Jan 6 in 2017 by saying “he won’t go willingly” if he loses the next election. Highly recommended video, still after almost 10 years.

    Calling the guy in this article a “longtime” biographer seems a little disingenuous.

      Calling the guy in this article a “longtime” biographer seems a little disingenuous.

      Wolff has written four books on Trump that are well-researched, and also a book on Epstein and one on Murdoch. He comes across as a bit of a tabloid journalist, but his analysis of Trump’s character and behavior have been solid, well-sourced and occasionally insightful.

      That’s a vague speculation and not a specific prediction that he’d organize an insurrection. Pretty weak stuff.
