'Art of the Deal' Co-Author: 'Trump Is Going to Resign'

Tony Schwartz, the co-author of Donald Trump's book, "Art of the Deal" is predicting the president will soon resign.

Schwartz said he believes an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller is closing in on Trump. His comments came in a series of Twitter postings.

The circle is closing at blinding speed. Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and congress leave him no choice.

Trump's presidency is effectively over. Would be amazed if he survives till end of the year. More likely resigns by fall, if not sooner.

Trump must be isolated. Resistance every day. The end is near but must keep pressure high.

Replying to another Twitter user, Schwartz said he believes Trump will step down in order to avoid a jail term.

Schwartz made similar predictions about Trump before, The HuffPost reported. It also noted Schwartz advised Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016 for free.

"He's going to have to figure out a way to resign," he had told CNN's Anderson Cooper in May.

Last month, Schwartz told the New Yorker Magazine, "I feel deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is."

Schwartz added, if he could do things over again, he would write a "very different book" titled "The Sociopath."
