'Art of the Deal' ghostwriter says Trump sent him cease and desist letter

The co-author of Donald Trump's bestselling book "The Art of the Deal" said Wednesday he has received a cease and desist letter from the Trump Organization's chief legal officer.
...............

It comes after Schwartz slammed Trump in an interview with The New Yorker magazine published earlier this week where he harshly criticized the businessman.

"I got almost immediately that cease and desist letter delivered to me by FedEx and you know, it's nuts and completely indicative of who he is," Schwartz said Wednesday in an interview on MSNBC.

"There's no basis in anything legal. I suspect that Donald Trump called up his chief legal person and said: 'Go after that guy and do whatever you have to do.'"

Until every registered Democrat gets a Cease and Desist letter in late October threatening legal action if they continue to support Hillary.

The sad thing is that I am only half joking...
