Donald Trump's latest attack on New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has backfired in a very Trumpian way, putting fresh attention on a new book that claims senior aides held an Epstein fallout meeting without him and that Elon Musk briefly operated as a kind of co-presidential force in the White House. The row, sparked by Trump's Truth Social rant over the weekend, has only amplified the allegations in 'Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.'
The news came after Trump lashed out at Haberman, who co-authored the book with fellow Times reporter Jonathan Swan, calling the reporting 'mostly made up' and branding her a 'third rate writer and intellect' in a post that also misspelled her name twice. He did not attack Swan in the message, a small detail that says quite a lot about how these Trump outbursts tend to work, all fury and loose aim.
