A new book, ‘Regime Change,’ provides a behind-the-scenes look at President Donald Trump’s second term in office. The book, written by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, reveals that Trump compared himself to some of history’s most powerful leaders, including Mao, Stalin, and Attila the Hun.
Trump’s Views on Power
According to the book, Trump showed Haberman and Swan a document that argued he was more powerful than these historical leaders. The document stated that while they maintained power through fear, Trump’s power was not limited by geography. Trump reportedly told Haberman and Swan that these leaders ‘maintained power through fear,’ and that he was different.
The book also details Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran, as well as his views on other world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Additionally, the book reveals Trump’s skepticism towards Ukraine and its leader, Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump’s Leadership Style
The book portrays Trump’s leadership style as ‘haphazard’ and ‘improvisational.’ It also describes his willingness to break with longstanding norms and his often biting and unvarnished views of fellow world leaders and members of his own team.
