During a spot on CNN, Tony Schwartz, co-author of The Art of The Deal with Donald Trump gave his take on the situation between the president and LaVar Ball. Schwartz told CNN's John Berman that the president's feud with Ball stems from both racial anxieties felt toward/about Black people and his own personal insecurities.
Schwartz stated that Trump's reaction is standard considering his racial biases and apparent thin skin. He told Berman, "So first of all, his father (LaVar Ball) is a tall black man and I think Trump is half awed and half frightened by black people and his only way of dealing with them is to attack them." Schwartz added, however, "On the other hand, I think he has a zero tolerance for any criticism of any kind, that’s why he goes after anybody who says virtually anything about him that’s negative."
