The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan authored Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, which reportedly includes vivid details about Trump’s routines — from discarded snack wrappers to claims he and Melania use separate bedrooms — and is said to be backed by audio of high-level conversations.
Alongside the book coverage, claims surfaced that the president accessed an experimental obesity drug under compassionate use; the White House denied the application concerned the president. Trump has asserted he is in "perfect" health and hailed his physical and cognitive exam results, while critics point to visible bruising and swollen ankles and call for increased scrutiny.
