Opinion | I Was Trump’s Ghostwriter. A New Biopic Gets the Most Important Thing Right.

www.nytimes.com

Critics may argue about specific factual details, but a new account of Trump’s ascent jibes with everything I saw with my own eyes.

“The Apprentice,” a new movie that dramatizes the early years of Donald Trump’s career, ends with a scene between Mr. Trump and an actor who plays me. The year is 1986 and I’m interviewing Mr. Trump for the first time, to begin ghostwriting “The Art of the Deal,” a book that I view today as an unintended work of fiction.
