EXCERPT from Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, by @jonathanvswan and me, in NYT Magazine today. How the Epstein files crisis paralyzed the Trump White House for the better part of a year https://t.co/QF4Lp3oC65
Trump, in March, when he made his first live comments after the U.S. attacked Iran:
"They said, oh, well, the president wants to do it really quickly. After that, he'll get bored. I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this."
I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”

NEW: In recent conversations with aides and allies, President Trump often interjects with a question about his vice president: Does JD Vance have what it takes to go all the way?
He usually answers his own question: He’s not so sure.

Here in Caracas, I just asked Delcy Rodríguez, the interim president of Venezeula, when she would hold elections.
“I don’t know,” she said. “Some time.”
“I have the tickets!” Erika Rolo exclaimed in a call with her parents when she booked a ticket on American Airlines 3599.
My story from the first flight from the U.S. to Venezuela since 2019.

Dan Eggen was a reporter’s editor — smart, indefatigable and fearless. He made your prose pop and was proud for you to shine. And he made sure you had fun. His passing is gutting, for his family and all who were lucky enough to work with him. https://t.co/1sKsv7Ivpy
