Regime Change: Inside The Imperial Presidency Of Donald Trump

Beskrivelse

Regime Change offers an intense and revealing look at the most transformative US presidency of recent times. This book presents an insider’s view of Donald Trump’s second term, a period marked by fewer restraints and bolder actions.

A detailed and unprecedented portrait of Trump’s second presidency, showcasing a leader reshaping the office and American power.

From the authors behind Confidence Man, this compelling account dives deep into the first year of Trump’s second term, a presidency freed from many of the limits that defined his initial time in office. The military leaders who once resisted him have stepped aside, while the remaining lawyers have learned to choose their battles carefully.

Trump’s administration has openly defied court rulings, and the President has asserted powers that Congress traditionally controlled. What emerges is a leader willing to take massive risks-risks that have shaken global markets and toppled foreign leaders. This is an imperial-style presidency driven largely by instinct.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and exclusive reporting from within the administration’s most secretive spaces, Regime Change takes readers inside the Situation Room and the hidden Oval Office discussions. These moments have led to a new war in the Middle East, the sealing of the border, the deployment of National Guard troops to cities, and immigration agents clashing violently with protesters.

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan pull back the curtain on a presidency that has reshaped culture, turned the Justice Department into a tool of retaliation against the President’s foes, and transformed the office itself into a bold vehicle for personal gain. They reveal how Trump’s second term is driven by a historical twist he has come to understand: that the indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and years of exile didn’t weaken him but instead made him more powerful, vengeful, and willing to take unprecedented gambles.

This book tells the story of how Trump wielded that power, who tried to stop him, and why most efforts failed. It’s the story of a President who has fundamentally changed the nature of the presidency and, in doing so, altered the world’s perception of American influence.
