A new book by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, titled "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," draws on more than a thousand deep-background interviews to document the internal workings of Trump's second term, raising immediate questions in Washington about who among the president's closest circle agreed to speak. The 464-page account details sensitive episodes including last-minute planning for a US military operation against Iran in which key cabinet members such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard were kept uninformed until the day before launch. The book also captures Trump's coarse language toward Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell — whom Trump reportedly sought to undermine through legal pressure and construction delays at the Fed's Washington headquarters — and portrays a presidency defined by retribution, media battles, and a fixation on the disputed 2020 election result.
