Trump Humiliated Again as Bombshell Book Becomes Instant Bestseller

Donald Trump is facing a fresh wave of embarrassment — and this time, it is flying off bookstore shelves.

A damning new book packed with jaw-dropping claims about Trump’s second term has become a runaway hit, with its publisher reportedly scrambling to keep up with demand.

Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, written by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sold a staggering 150,000 copies across all formats on its first day of release Tuesday, according to Politico’s Playbook.

The book’s explosive debut has already forced Simon & Schuster to order another 150,000 copies as readers rush to get their hands on the inside account of Trump’s chaotic return to power.

And the numbers may only get bigger. According to Playbook’s analysis of Circana BookScan data, Regime Change is on track to post the biggest first-week sales of any nonfiction hardcover book so far this year.

The book covers the first year of Trump’s turbulent second term and paints a bruising portrait of an administration consumed by scandal, infighting and crisis management.

One of the most stunning claims in the book is that at least one person inside Trump’s inner circle leaked audio recordings of conversations from inside the Situation Room to the reporters, giving them a remarkable window into private discussions at the highest levels of power.

According to Regime Change, some of Trump’s top officials held urgent talks over how to handle the fallout from the president’s past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the messy release of files linked to the late sex offender.

The book claims Vice President JD Vance suggested the administration should get ahead of one particularly graphic allegation by releasing an email from the Epstein files that allegedly claimed Trump had sex with a trafficking victim and “aggressively flicked and sucked” her nipples, leaving them “red and swollen.”

According to the book, Vance believed releasing the allegation would make it appear as though the Trump administration was being even more transparent than necessary about the Epstein material.

Trump has not publicly addressed the most embarrassing details contained in the book.

The Epstein revelations are only part of the political firestorm. Regime Change also raises fresh questions about the 80-year-old president’s age, stamina and health.

For months, concerns have swirled over Trump’s bruised hands, swollen ankles, public dozing and questions about his sharpness. But the book claims people around Trump have noticed additional signs that the president is slowing down.

Haberman and Swan write that those who spent time with him noticed “the moments of fatigue” and “the cupped hand behind the ear,” suggesting he may also be struggling with hearing issues.

The book also claims Trump has increasingly moved meetings to the Oval Office so he can sit behind the Resolute Desk or near the fireplace instead of standing for long periods.

Trump is already on track to become the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, and the book portrays a commander in chief whose late-night habits may be adding to concerns inside the West Wing.

According to Regime Change, Trump often stays up deep into the night posting on Truth Social. The book claims aides sometimes could not reach him between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. because he had only “finally caught some sleep around four or five in the morning.”

The book also dishes on Trump’s private White House routines, including his reported late-night eating habits and an alleged demand to have carpet installed in the White House bathroom.

In another attention-grabbing detail, the book claims Trump and first lady Melania Trump do not sleep in the same bedroom at the White House.

Taken together, Regime Change delivers a blistering portrait of a president surrounded by controversy, battling questions about his health and facing new humiliation as readers devour the book’s most damaging claims.

For Trump, the timing could hardly be worse.

What his allies may have hoped would be a passing publishing-day headache has turned into a full-blown bestseller — and every new copy sold threatens to push the book’s most explosive allegations even deeper into the national conversation.
