New Trump book has record-breaking debut week due to demand

  • A new book titled Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump has sold over 300,000 copies in its debut week, marking the best first-week performance for any hardcover nonfiction book in 2026.
  • Authored by political journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, the book details the initial 14 months of Donald Trump's second presidency, offering an inside look at the West Wing, Mar-a-Lago, and foreign trips.
  • The significant sales indicate a renewed public appetite for insights into Donald Trump, contrasting with previous speculation that interest in Trump-related narratives had waned.
  • The book delves into Trump's military decisions, his deployment of the Justice Department's power, and his efforts to redesign the White House's aesthetics and structure.
  • It posits that Trump believed his power in a second term would be less formidable had he not lost the 2020 election, leading him to disregard norms; Donald Trump has dismissed the book as “mostly made up.”
