‘“Regime Change” — the new book from New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan — is the latest in a very long line of books promising a behind-the-scenes look at a presidency. Their book has only a few of the dishy details one often finds in these volumes. But as readers learn about the dynamic between President Donald Trump and the loyalists who surround him, a genuinely sinister picture emerges. The president has finally created an administration that works exactly how he wants it to, and the result is a vicious cycle of incompetence and moral corruption.
In short, everything about how the White House operates exacerbates Trump’s most pernicious instincts and character flaws. His aides enable him to be the worst version of himself, and in turn he makes them the worst version of themselves.
The result is an administration full of people who either agree with Trump’s most self-destructive impulses or know that objections are all but pointless.’

A vicious cycle of incompetence, moral corruption, and criminality – a Trump regime with absolute contempt for the rule of law and the judiciary
Surrounded by blind partisan hacks and sycophantic loyalists, there is no one to check Trump’s despotic authoritarianism.
And with Congressional Republicans unwilling to remove Trump and a Supreme Court dominated by conservative ideologues in support of the Imperial Presidency and unitary executive dogma, the country will remain subject to the capricious, sinister whims of a dangerous megalomaniac unfit to hold any public office.

Opinion | The newest book on the Trump White House paints a genuinely sinister picture
In Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s “Regime Change,” the president makes his staff worse — and they happily return the favor.
