Ezra Klein Interviews Maggie Haberman on Trump’s First 14 Months in Second Term

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jul 31

Summary

  • Maggie Haberman joined “The Ezra Klein Show” to discuss “Regime Change,” the book she co-wrote with Jonathan Swan on the first 14 months of Donald Trump’s second term.
  • The conversation centers on how Trump has changed and whether the administration’s early burst of action — from tariffs to DOGE to the Iran war — has since lost momentum or trapped itself in its own decisions.
  • The New York Times published the piece as an edited podcast transcript and described the book as a close account of the administration’s first year and early second-year trajectory.
