As Pres. Trump pushes for the U.S. to immediately reopen despite rising death tolls and dire medical warnings, a former confidant who coauthored Trump’s best-seller the “Art of the Deal” says that while it may sound “extreme,” Trump has “no conscience” and “the deaths don’t matter to him.” Author and businessman Tony Schwartz explains why and recounts his history working with Trump in this interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 5/15/2020.

Longtime Trump Insider: COVID 'Deaths Don't Matter To Him' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
He is absolutely right.
He has no conscious of right or wrong.
It’s sad really.
Anne Liesveld Believe that speaker: he has no conscience. Nothing matters but his own skin.
Trump 2Q2Q The Library Awww is a wittle maga moron sad?? You have to result to attacks rather than intellectually debating us? Prove us wrong. How’s your orange dictator not a sociopath? And don’t shift the blame to somebody else.
Trump 2Q2Q The Library How well do you know satan? Sold your soul have you?
@Trump 2Q2Q The Library Religion is a social construct to control people. One would think ‘rules don’t apply to ME!!’ Trump supporters would know this 🤷♀️
Ursula Shine it’s sad for America
Trump actually said today that the numbers would be lower if we didn’t test so much.
Also he questions the whole concept of testing. Bcs you may test negative today but you test positive in next day!!! 🤔😁😂😂😂😂
🙄😬💀🤦♂️
Thats like saying there would be less pregnant women if they didn’t take a pregnancy test.
Let the orange pigface have a IQ test… that will show a bigly fat 0
It is the “Ostrich Theory”. Stick your head in the sand til the danger goes away. Good luck down there. Stay safe no matter what Trumpty Dumpty does to bungle this mess even more.
The really sad part of this is, there are still people who will vote for him. (smh)
@tanon I hope you are right🙏🙏
@Pretty Young Thing PYT Hatred of trump is all the motivation the majority of this country needs. It will be a landslide.
@Lisa King There is no positive spin to an epidemic sweety. Have you not been listening to ANYTHING I’ve been telling you? You see…..you just sound like the typical kind of people that wants something done, an answer, a solution, a cure, etc. right on the spot when there isn’t ONE. Sorry dear….an epidemic takes time to tackle…..you’re just gonna have to WAIT for a cure, solution, answer, potion, etc. just like the rest of us.
@lisa sommerlad Blame the Chinese for the losses.
@Milton R Sure…..you can even get that feeling before you meet someone. Always trust your gut instinct.
If a trump supporter and himself were drowning and there were two life jackets. He would take both of them.
@Jan Sonshine
Nothing
Over a thousand people per day is dying from the virus and trump have his idiotic, unprotected supporters out protesting.
Trump is sacrificing his own voters just to make his poll numbers go up.
I hope you throw you DNC members in the same boat. Pelosi and other people you guys enjoy turning blind eye.
Someone needs to take Trump shark fishing.
Trump would also fire the person that provided the life jackets.
That’s the gist of things, Yes.
The tragedy of America under trump simply becomes too much to understand… he is indeed, a man without a soul…you mean nothing to him.
@gabriela sanchez You do matter. Your son matters. Let no one tell you otherwise. Stay safe.
@Lisa S He has already imbleached himself… hope that is the end of it.
@solrart The Senate cowards allowed him to walk from crimes against our Constitution during the first impeachment. Now, he thinks he get get away with anything. The guy is unhinged, especially if he thinks he is going down. I would not put anything past him. There is a reason why they select right wing judges.
@solrart lol Mr. Clorax imbleached himself alright.
@gabriela sanchez As much as I feel sorry for you and your Son for his truly, truly unfortunate illness, but to Trump, you, and your Son, are just another figure on the chart. A number in the statistics. This man doesn’t see you as human, but as a statistic and thus feels absolutely nothing to your plight.
Is so obvious that he doesn’t CARE
What trips me out more is when his lower and middle class followers actually believe he cares about them.
rooshkin1 No you need to stop listening to both Trumps and Fox news lies.
Mainstream media is just FAKE NEWS and LEFTIST SHILLS. #TRUMP2020
Why is it we cant take advantage of his narcissism?
@Saddest News Because I think his supporters doesn’t want to believe the truth. They believed his lies and people around the world knows what Trump have done today. Doing nothing about the warning, playing Twitter #ObamaGate, Rally with his supports etc which is not important now. A real leader knows to run it’s countries much much more better than him.
Trump and republicans Don’t care if people Die . Something’s are more important than money. LIFE people
But but wut about those poor billionares!?
So much for a party which pretends to be for life.
A real leader is someone who knows to protect his country and don’t look to blame others at all and they know how to lead at 100%. But Trump himself has keep sending #ObamaGate always nonstop and don’t care about the deaths as well. I predict myself that US will soon has 100K deaths in less than a week from now. USA needs to wake up and start replacing it’s government with a much more proper government. See Croatia, Germany, Norway, Denmark etc. Their leaders know how to lead exactly far times better than Trump.
GOP = Greed Over People
Being dramatic doesn’t make your lies valid
I honestly believe he was sent here to destroy this country.
Putin
Sounds like president trump’s code word to to Putin is SALT.like the movie.
@Gilbert Woodward Agreed
Putin certainly got his money’s worth. His asset, Trump, has done more damage to our society and government than if the Russians had won a shooting war.
@Gilbert Woodward They Were ALL In On It! The Deep State’s Coup UNMASKED | Huckabee
Definition of a psychopath.
Norman Bates!
NARCISSISTIC sociopaths
The motivation is money, has always been money, money….
Money is only a marker to make up for what’s missing, which is affection for anyone including himself.
Why does he need more money?? Isn’t he a multi-jillionnaire already??
What’s he gonna do with all that money?? Buy all the countries in the world?? smh
Yup. His hotels are closed. He’s losing money everyday. All he can think about is his investments, not people. What a jerk.
@Courtney Williams One word, greed.
Psychopathic Grandiose Narcissist; nuff said? Explains it all.
Yep!
Mainstream media is just FAKE NEWS and LEFTIST SHILLS. #TRUMP2020
Unfortunately I don’t think many people understand just how seriously dangerous a psychopath is and by the time they do its to late, they’ve become a victim. I know through personal experience from someone in my own family and I was the victim.
“Trump has no conscience.” Where does that position the GOP? Neither Trump nor the GOP can govern.
@Tech ti you’re adorable
@Mary Brady What war has Trump started or esulated. Obummer is the father of ISIS remember.

Never has the 25th amendment been more needed. Trump obviously…..& Pence needs ousted as well, both for Crimes Against Humanity!
You can tell they don’t matter to him
So cute…made me forget about Trump, Thank you Lovely😉
Not once have I seen him pay respects to those that died. Not once.
The only thing that gets to him is that all the deaths make him look bad. That’s it. He has just enough self awareness to understand that, and not enough self motivation to do anything productive about it.
Bruce Wayne Hey Batman….Why don’t you fly back to your Bat Cave…Your clearly in the Dark….Between you & the Orange One you couldn’t melt an Ice Cube!
@Gary Corson SO TRUE🤣😆😂😅
@Bruce Wayne TRUMP 2020 10 STATE PENITENTIARY AND 10 FEDERAL 🤣😆😂😅
Patricia Williams Love It…Well played my friend!
I wish someone would have told him how bad he would look when they told him about it in late December. Maybe fewer people would have died, and we would be farther ahead in battling this killer virus
I will say this again: trump does not care if 500,000 Americans die as long as he wins this election! he is willing to sacrifice lives to win 100%
@hedunlap Democrats are death? We see that Trump supporter even dies. Chelsea Clinton tells the truth about her relatives died and she said that the relative voted for Trump. So it made me clear that some Trump supporters has died. You Trump supporters are liar of this world. We know and we found this evidence from a real people, not Trump and his supporters.
@Saddest News China Lied, America Lied and WHO lied.
@Jelita Fortuna And Donald J. Trump is the undisciplined one.
@Marcos Juarez Yes. He is on Twitter but tweet to do nothing to protect it’s citizens and will welcome 100,000 deaths in few days – now 90,000 people dies from his failure. Not only him, but so does Johnson, Bolsonaro, Putin and other right-wing leaders.
Football Nerd not really, at least half the reason is people’s pure stupidity. Going outside and not wearing masks because it’s a CoNsPiRiCy
The GOP is just as guilty, most all of them are going along with it that makes them just as DANGEROUS !
@Ganiscol hahahahahahahaha
@Atlantic Beach Biden for Senate.
grow forit desperate comrades from chit hole Russia cant save poor Puppet this time.
😢🖕🇺🇸
Mainstream media is just FAKE NEWS and LEFTIST SHILLS. #TRUMP2020
exactly! “Conservatives without conscience” Hedges
This is what i’ve been saying since day one. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. Period.
Send this to person called Deep South
FALL OF CABAL – This Video Will Leave You Speechless!

So deal with it and get off your butt and go to work.
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it” ~ Lindsey Graham
Russian are going to own US then
@The man Yes. Feeling sad that America is heading down now. Praying for the people who have lost in this tragedy because the government of this country has failed especially Trump.
Sorry, but he (LG)has already turned to the dark side..
Famous last words before the curtain falls. We are ranked DEAD LAST. Whole world did better than us. Boy I sure miss Barack Obama…
Roger Dodger because he realized all the abhorrent policies Republicans believe in he can get through trump. Trump only wants power and all that comes with it!
Remember hurricane Maria? He didn’t care about the deaths then, he isn’t going to change in just a few short years.
You are right, lets hope that we never go to war with him at the helm
The most dangerous person in the world is a person with NO CONSCIOUS.
Agree
I see them as the weakest, and the most ignorant to the strengths within themselves.
and that’s oh bam ha 🐒
Yeah like Obama and Hillary! Don’t worry they are really close to paying for their crimes👍
The dying Trumpublican domestic terrorist party proves they believe a LYING SOCIOPATH makes great presidential material!
