Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan will recount the first year of President Donald Trump’s eventful second term in a book coming later this year.
Simon & Schuster will publish the journalists’ Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump in the summer, the press announced in a news release. It calls the book “a riveting, intimate, and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time,” noting that it is “based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms.”
Haberman, a White House correspondent for the New York Times, has covered Trump extensively and is the author of the 2022 book Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America. Swan is also a reporter for the Times who has written about the Trump presidency.
Their book, Simon & Schuster says, “covers the first year of Trump’s second presidency—a term liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him no are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. He has ignored court orders and claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have toppled heads of state and taken the country to war again in the Middle East; an imperial president operating almost entirely on instinct alone.”
Regime Change is slated for publication on June 23.
Michael Schaub is a contributing writer.
