If you are a frequent reader of the news, very little of Lucky Loser will be new to you, however the organization of the content makes this book worth it. It is the story of how Donald Trump (twice impeached, 34 count felon, convicted r*pist, attempted dictator, current dictator in process, Nazi) never let being the world’s most pathetic failure and fucking loser stop him from being rich.
Sorry, don’t know what came over me there. This book is organized into a timeline, broadly, starting with the work of Fred Christ Trump (real middle name, pronounced “Crist” I guess) worked to create an incredible financial legacy for his family, and then how Donald Trump pissed that away. One thing that stunned me and that I didn’t expect from this, was that I develop a respect for the work ethic of alleged cross-burning Klan member, F. Christ Trump. It is legitimately impressive to read about someone who built a portfolio based on their ability as a carpenter and cost manager. The respect and being impressed doesn’t last long, because you quickly get to all the fraud he committed in service of illegally transferring as much money as he could to his children.
In spite of this, and shocking no one with enough oxygen in their body to power a brain, it was never enough for Donald. From the beginning, he lied about how much he’d built, how much money he had, and what he did with his time and life. The media went along with this, glazing him, lying about him, and letting him bluff his way into building almost nothing, following his instincts into bankruptcy, and insisting his name is worth millions until, frustratingly, it does wind up being worth something. It’s a good treatise on how the man solved his problems by lying, selling an empty reputation, and unfortunately finding success because of this due to selling himself as a brand and TV personality.
Read the book, and Donald Trump: fuck you, you pathetic piece of shit. Don’t let the cell door hit yours or your enablers’ shriveled dicks on their way to lockdown.
