Wonky Book: Estate Magnate and Trump Tower

wonky book: The draft alarmed Trump aides, according to Hamilton Spectator. They demanded Shiflett come to Trump Tower for a meeting, where he said they told him to "turn the temperature down a few notches" by making the businessman sound less strident and more "inclusive." The result was a relatively restrained and wonky book, with chapters on Social Security and foreign policy. Hired in 1999 to ghostwrite "The America We Deserve," Shiflett spent days with the real estate magnate, channeling his voice and temperament into the pages of a manuscript. Trump ultimately withdrew his prospective 2000 candidacy and promptly returned to the unfiltered person whose inflammatory statements have defined his image ever since — endearing him this year to many Republican presidential primary voters but emerging in the general election campaign as a focal point for critics, including Democrat Hillary Clinton, who say he is temperamentally unfit for the White House. Trump has declared that he has a "winning temperament." He argued in the first debate that "my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament." Surveys, though, suggest it is one of his biggest political weaknesses. On Sunday, when he faces off for the second time in a debate against Clinton, a major question will be which version of Trump shows up: the unfiltered provocateur Americans have come to know, or a carefully managed candidate whose words were once delivered to the electorate with a ghostwriter gloss.
