The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him.Regime Change is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trumps second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administrations most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trumps second term, which has been 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.Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the Presidents enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.Regime Change shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.
