Under the headline “Exclusive: Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan book on Trump, ‘Regime Change,’ coming in June,” Axios co-founder Mike Allen – Swan’s former employer before he jumped ship to the New York Times – basically just shares the link to publisher Simon and Schuster’s marketing copy that hawks the June 23 release as “a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.” Now that there is some quality sane-washing, ladies and gents – 5/5 euphe-meter stars.

“A Truth Social post last month had Washington and media insiders scratching their heads. Why exactly had President Trump attacked The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and some of her ‘associates’ – when everyone in the West Wing knew that she and her reporting partner, Jonathan Swan, had been on book leave for months?” Allen writes. like there would’ve been any fucking mystery as to the subject of the book Haberman was working on when Trump posted “Maggot Hagerman, just another SLEAZEBAG writer for The Failing New York Times, insists on writing false stories about me, even though she fully knows and understands that the exact opposite of anything she says is usually the truth. In any event, I’m thinking of adding Maggot, and some of her ‘associates,’ into my Florida based Lawsuit against The Times which, very happily, seems to be proceeding nicely” during a typical Saturday afternoon Truth Social tantrum – three days before she and Swan privately interviewed Trump for more than an hour in the Oval Office, according to Allen.

Still, just in case you thought they might’ve been working on a new Star Wars sequel novel, here’s the marketing campaign for “Regime Change,” via Axios, who do not print anything resembling an actual excerpt from the insider account. It also appears Allen effed up and forgot to put an affiliate parameter in the URL, screwing the website out of untold thousands of dollars in commissions.
