Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success
Book •
This book, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, delves into the financial history of Donald Trump.
It exposes how Trump received over $500 million from his father through lucrative investments that required no business expertise.
The authors use over twenty years of Trump's confidential tax information, business records, and interviews with Trump insiders to track his financial rise and fall.
The book highlights Trump's pattern of squandering fortunes on money-losing businesses, taking out huge loans, and obsessing over appearances while ignoring financial threats.
It also reveals how Trump's public image as a business savant was constructed and how it contributed to his political career.
