The New York Times' Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have co-authored 'Regime Change,' a book exposing previously unknown details about President Trump's efforts to dramatically expand executive authority. Drawing on their extensive White House coverage, the authors document confidential exchanges and decision-making processes that shaped the administration's approach to governance.

The book focuses on Trump's systematic push to consolidate power within the executive branch, revealing how the former president sought to reshape traditional boundaries between branches of government. These revelations come from Haberman and Swan's deep sourcing within Republican circles and their tracking of Trump's political maneuvering throughout his term.

For business leaders and investors, understanding these power dynamics matters because executive authority directly impacts regulatory policy, trade decisions, and market stability. When presidents test constitutional limits, markets react to uncertainty about rule of law and predictable governance.

'Regime Change' offers a window into how Trump's governance philosophy could influence future administrations and their approach to business regulation, making it essential reading for those tracking Washington's evolving relationship with corporate America.
