- Donald Trump fiercely attacked a new book detailing his personal habits and White House events, calling it
Donald Trump launched a furious online tirade against journalist Maggie Haberman and her new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump." Trump, writing on his Truth Social platform, dismissed the book as "mostly made up, fake news, mostly fiction," and labeled Haberman a "third-class writer."
The book, co-authored by Haberman and Jonathan Swan, reportedly details Trump's personal habits, including alleged late-night eating binges that left behind a mess. It also describes him as a "night owl" who struggles with sleep and reportedly sleeps in a separate bedroom from his wife, Melania Trump.
Based on a very quick and boring briefing on Magot Hagermanโs book about me, it is really made up, fake news, mostly fiction, like so many of the other things she has written about me over the years.
Other details in the book include Trump's habit of carpeting his bathroom, raising concerns about mold, and his alleged hearing difficulties, requiring questions to be repeated. The book also delves into sensitive discussions within the White House, including quotes from confidential conversations about Iran and the Epstein files, raising concerns among some staff about potential recordings.
"Regime Change" is based on over 1,000 interviews with individuals close to Trump. The book also touches on the Trumps' living arrangements within the White House, suggesting they have maintained separate bedrooms for some time. It further claims Trump personally decorated his private quarters, even taking items Melania had chosen from shared spaces, seemingly in a competitive manner.
