Lucky Loser (book)
''Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created The Illusion of Success'' is a nonfiction book by ''New York Times'' investigative journalists Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner. It was published on September 17, 2024 by Penguin Random House LLC. It covers Donald Trump’s inherited wealth, financial and business practices alongside providing insights into his many claims on being a self-made man. The book also delves into Trump’s father Fred Trump’s wealth and fortune and how they were used as a financial leverage for his son. It also challenges the long-standing narrative that Trump built his empire from a modest loan, instead saying that he inherited the equivalent of over $400 million from his father. Craig and Buettner say that Trump, despite receiving substantial financial backing, repeatedly lost money on ventures, only to be bailed out by luck or the efforts of others.

4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. Evolution of the Hindu-Arabic digit Brahmic numerals represented 1, 2, and 3 with as many lines. 4 was simplified by joining its four lines into a cross that looks like the modern plus sign. The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve. The Europeans dropped the finishing curve and gradually made the digit less cursive, ending up with a digit very close to the original Brahmin cross. While the shape of the character f ...
