## Resource

Jonathan Swan returns with a gripping new look at Donald Trump’s presidency, spotlighting what he calls the most consequential year in American political history. Drawing on his explosive past reporting—including that landmark Trump interview during the pandemic—Swan now dives into Trump’s second term with his new book, “Regime Change,” co-written with Maggie Haberman. The core of his analysis? A seismic shift in Trump’s inner circle: fewer advisors, more loyalists, and virtually no pushback. This has birthed a presidency operating with unprecedented centralization, wielding government tools to target enemies and pressure institutions. Swan’s incisive reporting reveals a leader testing the limits of presidential power, reshaping governance in real time—with profound implications for the future of American democracy.
