Summary
From the two reporters who have covered him more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade comes this definitive portrait of Donald Trump in the White House. Regime Change 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. His administration has flouted court orders and he has claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have upended global markets and toppled heads of state; an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct alone.
Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms, Regime Change takes the reader inside the Situation Room and into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities, and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan bring us behind the scenes of a presidency that has transformed the culture, turned the Justice Department into an agent of retribution against the President’s enemies and the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history.
This is the story of how Trump has used that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. It is also the story of something American journalists are more accustomed to chronicling in distant capitals than in their own: a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holds – and, with it, how the rest of the world understands American power. It is an account of Regime Change right here in America – a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.

Much of the book covered issues that I already had a fair degree of knowledge and I thought understanding of, but this clarifies and brings everything into an overall picture of issues that drive a complex man.
I'm sure no one will ever really know the true Trump, but at least this helps to analyse a man with such disturbing tendencies and his motivations in decision making.
As we are only part way through Donald Trump's second term as president, so there is surely much more to come. I wonder if the authors will be able to get the same degree of insight during the remainder of this Presidency, and be able to provide a follow up.
If there is one, I will be reading it.
Rare Insight but surely more to come
