The man who co-authored Donald Trump s signature book issued a stern warning about the presidents mental health.
Tony Schwartz , who co-wrote 1987s The Art of the Deal with the future president, called Trump delusional in an interview with CNN s Anderson Cooper .
He also asked if Trump is crazy like a fox or just crazy, then answered his own question:
I think the overwhelming weight of evidence suggests that hes just crazy. And not crazy, causal crazy. Im talking about crazy Im not a psychiatrist, so I actually can get away with saying this but crazy as a personality disorder.
Simple answer is, he says whatever he thinks serves him, Schwartz said. And while hes saying it, he does believe it.

Schwartz has been predicting that Trump will ultimately resign but declare victory as he leaves office.
I surely believe that at some point over the next period of time hes going to have to figure out a way to resign , Schwartz told CNN in May.
Schwartz advised the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign for free last year, calling it my penance for having created a man who has become a monster.
He has also said he would donate his share of the profits from The Art of the Deal to the National Immigration Law Center , an organization that helps low-income immigrants.
