Regime Change. How Donald Trump Rewired Washington, Rebuilt Executive Power, and Recast America's Role in the World

Regime Change is a hard-hitting geopolitical and political analysis of how power in Washington has been fundamentally restructured in the modern era. This book goes beyond headlines and personalities to examine the deeper institutional forces reshaping the United States, from the expansion of executive authority to the redefinition of federal governance, economic strategy, and America's role in a rapidly shifting global order.
It explores how political decisions inside the White House, Congress, the courts, and the administrative state have collectively transformed how the American system operates in practice. At its core, this book reveals how the presidency has evolved into a central command structure for domestic and international policy, influencing trade, immigration, industrial strategy, national security, and technological competition.
It investigates the rise of economic nationalism, supply chain security, and the return of industrial policy as defining features of U. S. strategy in a world increasingly shaped by rivalry with China and other global powers. Regime Change also examines the tension between continuity and disruption in American democracy. It asks whether these transformations represent temporary political shifts or the emergence of a new governing model that will define future presidencies.
Through clear, authoritative analysis, the book connects constitutional theory, political economy, and real-world power dynamics to explain what is changing, why it is happening, and what it means for the future of American governance. This is not just a book about one presidency. It is a study of how Washington itself is evolving-and what that means for citizens, institutions, and the global balance of power in the decades ahead.
