Rick Wilson knows Trump from the politics side. Susanne Craig and I know him from the business and family side. A nice conversation ensues, including comparing notes on secret polls and the durable legacy of The Apprentice. #EnemiesList w/ Rick Wilson youtu.be/p-g3pU6B3rU

ā€œLUCKY LOSERā€ is fascinating. Pulitzer Prize-winning writers Russ Buettner & Susanne Craig shine new light on the ā€˜illusion’ of success Trump tried to create. In fact, quite like any carnival act, it is amazing! …until you know the trick. Order a copy today.

THIS: "I can’t emphasise this enough: Lucky Loser is a gripping, page-turning read, devastating in its meticulousness and thrilling in its narrative. If the devil is in the detail, this book is as close to Satan’s origin story as we’re ever going to get." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I get the anger over the The Washington Post owner’s decision not to endorse. But my subscription is worthwhile just for the work of Carol Leonnig, who enlightens and inspires me with perfectly executed reporting of the highest difficulty. I subscribe for greatness. #whyIsubscribe

i subscribe to the The Washington Post because i love reading business reporters like Drew Harwell and Abha Bhattarai (even when they beat me! great competition is essential for the journalism industry and makes for better stories for readers) #WhyISubscribe

An exciting week for Lucky Loser, my biography with Susanne Craig of Donald becoming Trump in business. We made FT’s best business books of 2024, and WashPost’s best nonfiction books. Wonderful to appear with such impressive books. washingtonpost.com/books/2024/11/… ft.com/content/f3e9de…

Market manipulation? Insider trading? In the 80s, Trump repeatedly bought stock in companies, appeared to fuel rumors he would takeover, then quietly sold on the rise he created. Quite a ruse, explained here: nyti.ms/2vXXiEK and our book "Lucky Loser." Susanne Craig
