After nearly a week of dominating the political news cycle with a steady stream of excerpts, television interviews and behind-the-scenes revelations, “Regime Change,” the new book by veteran journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, has earned perhaps its most predictable review yet: President Donald Trump called it “mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction.”
In a lengthy Truth Social post Saturday night, Trump dismissed Haberman as a “third rate writer and intellect,” revived his longtime nickname for the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist — “Magot [sic] Hagerman” — and accused the authors of fabricating key details. He also denied that Haberman and Swan possess audio recordings “that they imply they have” before pivoting to familiar talking points about the 2024 election and Iran.
