What is the transcription for the word "don't" in American english. Is the letter "d" pronounced like the letter "r"?

Well, on one hand, the English /r/ is never [4]. On the other hand, it is quite common for English "don't" to begin with [4] when following words ending with vowels or codas not containing obstruents. (In some dialects, such as my own, that initial [4] is frequently dropped altogether when following pronouns ending in vowels or codas not containing obstruents.)
