Maybe he has a fake ghostwritter. On the other hand someone had to have written the book and it definitely wasn't Donald.
From the documentary Born Rich (2003).
Ivanka said:I remember once, my father and I were walking down 5th Avenue, and there was a homeless person sitting right outside of Trump Tower. And I think I was probably nine, ten something like this, it was right around the time as the divorce. And I remember my father pointing to him and saying ‘That guy has $8 billion more than me.’ Because he was in such extreme debt at that point. And me thinking ‘What are you talking about?’ He was sitting outside of Trump Tower, and I didn’t understand. I just thought about it a year or two ago and thought it interesting. It makes me all the more proud of my parents that they got through that.
From the trial.
"I owed billions upon billions of dollars, $9.2 billion to be exact," Trump wrote in his 2004 book, "How to Get Rich." McIver, who has worked for the Trump Organization since 2001, had served as a co-writer on that book. "...In the midst of the crash, I passed a beggar [on] the street and realized he was worth $9.2 billion more than I was."
Nobody was fired over the plagiarism.
