"ACTING PRESIDENTIAL" is a razor-sharp political satire that follows the spectacular fall of former President Randolph "Hotrod" Snoggins, a charismatic womanizer whose post-presidential career as the star of a political drama series becomes an unexpected battleground with his successor, the grammatically-challenged President Constable Grimm.When Snoggins leverages his TV show to undermine Grimm's policies, the sitting president declares war on Hollywood immorality-setting off a cascade of betrayals, scandals, and increasingly desperate political maneuvers. Caught in this high-stakes game are Snoggins' ex-wife Governor Lucy (with ambitions of her own), his actress-girlfriend Erika Wares, and a colorful cast including corrupt contractors, bumbling Secret Service agents, and even a foreign assassin dispatched by the vengeful President-For-Life Revilli.The novel brilliantly skewers American politics through its unflinching portrayal of power-hungry narcissists who care more about personal vendettas than governance. Each character embodies different facets of political dysfunction: Snoggins' charm masks boundless ego and corruption; Grimm's incompetence is matched only by his pettiness; Lucy's calculated ambition drives her to shocking betrayal; while the hapless Secret Service agent Bill experiences the collateral damage of protecting the unprotected.As this political chess match escalates to absurd heights-culminating in an unprecedented physical brawl in the Oval Office-"SNOGGINS" delivers a scathing commentary on celebrity culture, media manipulation, and the dangerous intersection of entertainment and politics. With irreverent humor and unforgettable characters, this novel suggests that in America's political theater, the line between comedy and tragedy is thinner than we'd like to believe-and often, the most ridiculous scenarios are disturbingly close to reality.
