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.

At a previous work place a second line manager was like this. He would tell people one thing and them in meetings tell his superior something else, even with the same people present. It got to a point that people avoided meetings with the guy without someone else as witness and my manager got the habit to document the meetings and forward to all parts as an email to have a paper trail. That paper trail came in hand at least a couple of times. I didn't deal directly with the guy but people say it was exhausting. Finally the company ler him go during a season with a lot of people quiting after one too many people cited him as a reason for leave the company.
