Regime Change: Maggie Haberman on Trump’s unchecked second term
Are we witnessing the most consequential presidency in history? Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, White House reporters for the New York Times, explore that question in their new book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.”
Here & Now co-host Indira Lakshmanan leads a conversation with Haberman as she recounts how she and Swan conducted hundreds of interviews taking them inside the Oval Office to reveal an unconstrained Donald Trump making unprecedented use of executive authority on everything from the economy to immigration.
This event is part of the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Distinguished Speaker Series.

Come on, Trump is in his 80's. Nature is going to force him off the stage
The family wouldn’t have been so heavily investigated with their business dealings if he had never ran for office. They could have continued doing their dealings under the radar without an oversight being bold enough to call attention to what was happening. He brought all of this on himself and his family.
Trump has torn apart our democracy. Started an illegal war created a national and global recession. He had a few years to plan his revenge against Americans and other politicians. What's it amazing is it's like maga is a cult. How can people follow him? He's a convicted felon. He's lied about everything in his campaign and mega still love him. His cabinet is mega loyal….congess.
Oh, he, Trump, will be talked about for decades! Vance is more polished but not ready for prime time! Vance and his colleagues must be placed in check.
Congress must be held to account for a check on the executive branch! What is their purpose, otherwise?
Trump is exhausting! He stirs so many pots of mush at once it becomes too much to handle. That’s his Superpower.
Your predictions for the future are lame Maggie. Vance is not even liked. Please stop.
TDS!
Are Trump’s techniques Mafia techniques which you believe will have come from his former lawyer buddy and ‘godfather’ Cohen?
The putz is like a big dog- loves to lift his cankles and piss all over everything.
11:01 I’m sure this part will come true but definitely not in the way he hopes will happen.
I find Maggie (NOT "Maggot" ) ALMOST credible but for accepting a high minded "compliment that she has covered Trump "longer than anyone else," it is NOT TRUE
Another Puitzer prize winner whom also worked for the NYT
DAVID CAY JOHNSTON had preceded her by about a decade.
AND SHE LET IT GO !!On the other hand, she and Jonathan have given me even more evidence that Michael Wollf is full of himself for claiming that he talks with:insiders daily "
Certainly they would have been called out by now and ceremony fired
Immunity? So what happens if a future democratic President decides to use it as a shield to separate a certain family from its wealth, privilege and freedom? Biden could have done it right after the Supreme Court ruling!
Maggie Haberman won a Pulitzer for her reporting on the 2016 Russian interference hoax. Why has she not returned the prize and apologized to Trump and the American people?
This dunce starts out with trump would have had the same exit from Afghanistan. TDS is real. This lady needs help.
Doesnt "white shoe law firm" refer to a firm that doesn't hire Jews?
Thats what ive always heard.
I think my question is not "is he really corrupt?" …. but my question about him, what I have not figured out is … "how does he manage to convince people in all walks of life (billionaires, millionaires and poor people) that we should give him our trust, our support, our attention to every word he says, our loyalty, give him our money, and continue till our dying day even though it is obvious he gives nothing to us in return?" It is easy to see he is corrupt, but impossible to understand how he manages to turn millions into lapdog fools. So, why did we allow ourselves to be hooked by his obvious corruptness? It is about us and what we have done … and why we allowed him to rape us first and then rape the country.
