New Releases by Maggie Haberman

“Riveting and richly textured… What the authors add is the vivid detail that makes these events feel actual. They wrest reality itself back from the distorted world of entertainment, illusion, fantasy and denial that Trump has generated around himself. It is this flood of provocation, atrocity, self-dealing and fabrication that makes Haberman and Swan’s counternarrative so vital.” —Fintan O’Toole, New York Times A riveting, intimate, and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time. From the two reporters who have covered him more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade comes this definitive portrait of Donald Trump in the White House. Regime Change covers the first year of Trump’s second presidency—a term liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him “no” are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. His administration has flouted court orders and he has claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have upended global markets and toppled heads of state; an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct alone. Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms, Regime Change takes the reader inside the Situation Room and into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities, and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan bring us behind the scenes of a presidency that has transformed the culture, turned the Justice Department into an agent of retribution against the President’s enemies and the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts, and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history. This is the story of how Trump has used that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. It is also the story of something American journalists are more accustomed to chronicling in distant capitals than in their own: a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holds—and, with it, how the rest of the world understands American power. It is an account of Regime Change right here in America—a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.

La invención de Donald Trump El término «camaleón» se refiere a una persona que tiene la capacidad de cambiar de actitud y comportamiento, adoptando siempre el que más le conviene. Pocos adjetivos casan mejor con la personalidad de Donald Trump y ningún libro ha indagado tan a fondo en su personalidad y su carácter. Un hombre con frecuencia encantador, pero que no duda en demostrar crueldad cuando le conviene y que se caracteriza por su inteligencia, sus inseguridades, su tono vengativo y amenazador. Lo que logra la periodista Maggie Haberman en esta obra es adentrarse en su mente, desprenderse del ruido de su etapa política y viajar hasta sus orígenes en Queens, probablemente el momento fundacional que moldeó su psicología. ¿Cuáles son sus motivaciones? ¿Quiénes son las figuras clave que le permitieron llegar a la cima? ¿Cuál es la realidad sobre ese falso mito de genio de los negocios que ha construido de sí mismo? A través de entrevistas con cientos de fuentes, incluidas varias con el propio protagonista de este libro, Haberman analiza la maquinaria de poder del entorno político de Trump, pone nombres y apellidos a su círculo de confianza y explica con detalle su trayectoria empresarial, personal y política. Un trabajo monumental que se ha erigido ya en la biografía definitiva de la figura más polarizadora de nuestra era. «Un libro sobre los orígenes de Trump de la mano de la periodista que mejor lo conoce». Politico

Donald Trump var tidigt en mytomspunnen man. Många av historierna fabricerades och spreds av Trump själv, som då var en publicitetshungrig imperiebyggare i fastighets- och hotellbranschen. Och när han sedan klev in i politiken och blev USA:s president var det fortfarande lögnerna och osanningarna som definierade honom. Ingen journalist har följt Donald Trumps karriär lika länge som Maggie Haberman och ingen är lika väl skickad att punktera myterna och ge en heltäckande bild av hans osannolika färd mot toppen. Confidence man är den definitiva biografin om Donald Trump, baserad på hundratals intervjuer, bland annat med Trump själv och hans innersta krets.

Deze grandioze en verontrustende kroniek vertelt het verhaal van Trumps leven en opkomst in New York tot aan de kwelling van zijn verlies van het Witte Huis – en daarna. Alles wat Trump als president deed en naliet kwam voort uit zijn verleden. Maggie Haberman, Trumpkenner bij uitstek, presenteert een onthullende, genuanceerde, diepgravende en nietsontziende analyse van de 45ste president van de Verenigde Staten – strijdlustig, onzeker, eenzaam, onheilspellend en wraakzuchtig. Het definitieve verslag van een van de meest ingrijpende en normafbrekende perioden uit Amerika’s politieke geschiedenis.
