Trump proudly asked an aide to fetch a copy of the document, which argued that each of the other leaders, \u201chowever fearsome in his day, had no global reach. Their power was local. But (Trump\u2019s) was not.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump proudly showed them the letter, Haberman and Swan write, \u201creciting the names of some of history\u2019s most powerful figures, explaining how each fell short of his own power as US president.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            These leaders \u201cmaintained power through fear,\u201d Trump said, according to the book. \u201cWho would ever do a thing like that? Right?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But when Swan and Haberman tried to find the author, it turned out, he was not a historian, but actually Player\u2019s longtime caddy and personal confidant. The caddy told Haberman and Swan that he \u201chad first shared his assessment of Trump\u2019s power with Player and later explained it directly to Trump over golf in Florida.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump posted the document on Truth Social just after midnight Thursday \u2014 an interesting coincidence that one source told CNN may have been an attempt to get out in from of the book. Trump wrote that the author was a \u201cpresidential historian.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The anecdote is one of many striking scenes captured in Haberman and Swan\u2019s new book, \u201cRegime Change,\u201d which was obtained by CNN ahead of its release on Tuesday. The book provides a blunt, behind-the-scenes portrait of the first 14 months of Trump\u2019s second term, in which the president has wielded his power without constraint \u2014 often in a haphazard, improvisational manner \u2014 to persecute his perceived enemies, rattle   global markets and wage war abroad.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan capture moments big and small, including the administration\u2019s flailing response to the Epstein files scandal and Trump\u2019s decision to go to war with Iran. Throughout, they illustrate how Trump\u2019s second term is even more unconstrained than his first, depicting his willingness to break with longstanding norms and offering insight into the president\u2019s often biting and unvarnished views of fellow world leaders and even members of his own team.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"RegimeChangecoverart.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3070\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9093b8663c3d3bd55a7885035436ddfd.jpg\" width=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9093b8663c3d3bd55a7885035436ddfd.jpg 678w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9093b8663c3d3bd55a7885035436ddfd-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Courtesy Simon &amp; Schuster<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Based on more than 1,000 interviews over a three-year period, Haberman and Swan\u2019s book contains direct quotes that they explain come from the person speaking, someone who heard them directly or from \u201ccontemporaneous notes, recordings, or transcripts.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            They both spoke to Trump several times over the course of their daily reporting, in addition to their hourlong sit-down with Trump in March.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Here are more key moments from \u201cRegime Change\u201d:\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Trump\u2019s personal gold touch \u2014 with superglue\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan recount a scene in the Oval Office that reveals how invested Trump is in the golden redecorating inside his White House office.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One morning, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt walked into the Oval Office and found Trump \u201cclutching a tube of superglue and attempting to affix gold decorations to the marble fireplace mantel,\u201d according to the book.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAs he was known to prefer his own aesthetic handiwork to anyone else\u2019s, the sight of the President squeezing glue onto gilded appliques and mounting them on the wall himself surprised no one in his inner circle,\u201d Haberman and Swan write.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After retaking office last year, Trump quickly transformed the look of the Oval Office, adding gold everywhere, including new gold vermeil figurines on the mantle and medallions on the fireplace, gold eagles on the side tables, gilded Rococo mirrors on the doors, and, nestled in the pediments above the doorways, diminutive gold cherubs shipped in from Mar-a-Lago.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A \u2018con man\u2019 and \u2018better than The Apprentice\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s second-term foreign policy has been dominated by his decision to go to war with Iran alongside Israel.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan capture Trump\u2019s hot-and-cold feelings about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including his initial hesitation about war with Iran. They write that Trump told an Israel skeptic in the early months of his administration that he didn\u2019t want \u201cany part\u201d of a Netanyahu war with Iran.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump told another adviser that Netanyahu was a \u201ccon man,\u201d according to the authors, who say that it is one of the worst insults in Trump\u2019s lexicon.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In an excerpt of the book released by The New York Times in April, Haberman and Swan describe a February gathering in the White House Situation Room that included Trump, Netanyahu and a handful of top US and Israeli officials. In the meeting, Netanyahu presented Israel\u2019s case for going to war with Iran, which Trump ultimately decided to back.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan also write about Trump\u2019s skepticism toward Ukraine and its leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, as Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine dragged into Trump\u2019s second year despite his campaign promise to resolve it within 24 hours.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After a remarkable argument in the Oval Office between Trump, Zelensky and Vice President JD Vance last February, Haberman and Swan write that Trump thought the confrontation was great.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cBetter,\u201d he would tell an advisor, \u201cthan <em>The Apprentice<\/em>,\u201d according to the book.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018You know what you are?

You\u2019re a pussy.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Months later, as tariff revenues began coming in, the authors write that Lutnick used Trump\u2019s insult with a quip of his own, telling the president he was \u201cyour twenty-five-billion-dollar-a-month pussy.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018I want to bust his f**king balls, honestly\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The book dives into one line that Trump chose not to cross in his second term: Trying to fire then-Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Instead, Trump launched a campaign last year to try to make Powell\u2019s life miserable.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            An aide told the authors at the time that Trump was not going to fire Powell, he was just going to torture him.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan recount how Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought brought Trump a plan to attack Powell over the renovations of the Federal Reserve building, which led to an extraordinary visit by the president to tour the site last July.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI want to bust his fucking balls, honestly,\u201d Trump said of Powell during a July staff meeting, according to the book. \u201cWhat about that fucking building? Can we stop it? Can we stop construction. I just want to bust his fucking balls. Fuck him.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump asked if they could stop construction. \u201cI\u2019ll look into it,\u201d Vought said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cNo don\u2019t look into it,\u201d Trump replied. \u201cBring me a plan.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vought\u2019s general counsel at OMB, Mark Paoletta, came up with the plan to appoint Trump allies to the National Capital Planning Commission, an arcane board that dealt with construction in the Washington, DC, region.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump told his then-deputy chief of staff, James Blair, to join the board. \u201cIt\u2019s like a two-week campaign. You know what to do. I just put you on the board. You have fun, you be vicious, you do a job,\u201d the president said, according to the authors.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After the meeting, Blair went to Will Scharf, Trump\u2019s staff secretary, and had him join the board, too. Scharf chaired a meeting the very next day, where Blair ordered up a \u201cfull review\u201d of the Federal Reserve renovation project.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Who was he?\u2019 How Trump found targets to investigate\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            In April 2025, Trump issued executive orders instructing the Justice Department to investigate several perceived enemies, including Chris Krebs, the former head of DHS\u2019 Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency who was fired in November 2020 after he stated publicly that the 2020 election was \u201cthe most secure in American history.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan reveal that the investigation came after Trump couldn\u2019t remember Krebs\u2019 name.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            According to the book, Trump \u201cbegan to muse about past grievances\u201d while in a meeting with several staff, including his powerful deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and Boris Epshteyn, Trump\u2019s longtime aide.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI remember there was this lawyer who was in the administration who said the election was fair and there\u2019s no fraud. Who was he?\u201d Trump asked.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cOh the DHS \u2014 I think you\u2019re talking about the DHS guy,\u201d Miller replied. \u201cI forget his name.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Epshteyn then googled Krebs\u2019 name. \u201cYeah, Chris Krebs,\u201d Trump said, according to the book. \u201cWhatever happened to him? He was a bad one. Take a look at him.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan write that Miller then proceeded to have a presidential memo drawn up, \u201cunleashing the resources of the federal government on a man whose sole offense against Trump had been to attest to the security and validity of his 2020 election.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Can you sign that for me?\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan offer new insights into the efforts of Trump\u2019s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to win over Russian President Vladimir Putin and end the war in Ukraine.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump tapped Witkoff, a longtime friend and New York real estate developer, as his chief negotiator for a number of diplomatic crises, including Gaza and Ukraine.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Witkoff sought a breakthrough with Putin based on personal chemistry, the authors write, adding that Putin \u201cseemed to play into this\u201d while giving up nothing on the battlefield.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Haberman and Swan write that during a meeting last year at the Kremlin, Putin was doodling on his personal stationary. Witkoff asked what it was and Putin held up the paper, which said \u201c3+2,\u201d which was shorthand for the territorial framework that Witkoff had discussed with him to stop the fighting.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cCan you sign that for me and can I take it home?\u201d Witkoff asked, according to the book.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Putin signed the drawing, and Witkoff had it framed in black with a taupe mat, Haberman and Swan write.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3059\">Families of kids with disabilities warn Education Department changes could break a flawed system<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When President Donald Trump sat down for an interview in March with New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan for their new book, he showed them a document arguing he was more powerful than some of the most feared and treacherous leaders in history \u2014 including Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
