Starting in late 1985, Schwartz spent eighteen months with Trump—camping out in his office, joining him on his helicopter, tagging along at meetings, and spending weekends with him at his Manhattan apartment and his Florida estate.

I'm just surprised that he's lying "strategically". I would've guessed "by compulsion". I also don't believe he has enough going on upstairs to be all that strategic about things.

This was 40 years ago so I’m willing to believe he was able to strategise. It just degenerated into mad ramblings as time went on.

This bum was never strategic. He just had enough of daddy's money to keep fucking up without consequences.
