Overview
- Simon & Schuster said Tuesday the book has sold over 300,000 copies across formats and is into a third hard‑copy printing with roughly 200,000 additional copies on order.
- Regime Change, by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, recounts the first 14 months of President Trump’s second term and argues he was emboldened to push presidential norms after losing in 2020.
- The publisher’s total includes preorders, print sales, ebooks, e‑audiobooks and orders not yet fulfilled because of demand.
- The White House has publicly dismissed the book as “mostly made up,” and officials launched a leak investigation after reporting that the manuscript relied on detailed internal conversations.
- Strong debut sales match high‑selling Trump books from his first term and have pushed the book into the national conversation, which could increase political pressure on the administration and intensify scrutiny of White House recordkeeping and access.
