About this episode

Maggie Haberman discusses her insights from Trump's second term and the dynamics within his White House.

Maggie Haberman is one of the few journalists to have been granted behind-the-scenes access to Trump's second term. This week, she joins Christiane to talk in depth about what she found. Drawing on her new book Regime Change , Maggie reveals what day-to-day life in this White House is really like: the chaos, the confusion, and what it tells us about the man at the centre of it all. What actually motivates Donald Trump: is it money, fame, power, or some combination of all three? Is there any genuine strategy behind his decisions, or is it simply governance by impulse? And after decades of covering him, what has Maggie learned about his personality that doesn't come across to those watching from afar? Christiane also asks Maggie about Trump's treatment of women, his extraordinary personal attacks on her - including calling her "Maggot" - and what to expect from the Midterms if things go badly for the Republicans.
