*Donald Trump’s former ghostwriter Tony Schwartz, says 45’s recent attacks of LaVar Ball stem from Trump being “half awed and half frightened by black people.”
The co-author of Trump’s 1987 book The Art of The Deal told CNN’s John Berman that POTUS’ feud with LaVar Ball stems from his standard reaction of feeling threatened by black people.
Berman asked whether Trump’s attack was down to “what LaVar Ball said or, as some are alleging, how he looks.”
“Both,” replied Schwartz. “So first of all, [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.”
“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,” he added.

Trump and Ball have gone back and forth on Twitter since Ball’s son LiAngelo, and two other UCLA players were released from China after being detained for shoplifting earlier this month.
Michael D’Antonio, the biographer who wrote “The Truth About Trump,” agrees with Schwartz.
“I think what Tony said was correct, that there are these dual motivations on his part,” he said. “On the one hand it is racial, on the other hand he has very thin skin.”
Ball’s son and two other players faced potentially lengthy jail sentences for the theft charge, but Trump, who was also visiting China at the time, spoke to President Xi Jinping about resolving the situation. The players were released and returned to the United States last week.
Upon their return, Trump demanded that the players thank him, so they held a press conference during which they thanked 45 for his role in helping them return home.
