About this item
Lucky Loser is a compelling financial thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, delving into the truth behind Donald Trump's wealth and rise to power. Following the explosive New York Times exposé of Trump’s finances, this investigation uncovers how the former president's narrative of being a self-made billionaire is built on a foundation of deception.
Trump claimed that he turned a modest loan from his father into a vast empire, positioning himself as uniquely qualified to lead the nation. In reality, he was born into privilege, inheriting over $500 million without demonstrating any real business acumen. Through two decades of Trump’s confidential tax information, business records, and interviews with insiders, Buettner and Craig reveal a pattern of financial mismanagement, where Trump repeatedly squandered fortunes on failing ventures, only to be rescued by fortuitous circumstances.
The book examines his obsession with appearances, questionable financial practices, and the numerous lawsuits that undermined his businesses. It highlights how Trump’s image as a business savant, carefully crafted through media manipulation, ultimately propelled him to the White House. Lucky Loser serves as a meticulously researched narrative that demystifies the man behind the myth, offering the definitive account of Trump’s financial saga and the vulnerabilities that now threaten his legacy.
