A Conman's Playbook

by Andrew Segal

What happens when a swindler, armed with a golden ego and a knack for avoiding accountability, cons his way to the pinnacle of power? The Conman’s Playbook unravels the rise and reign of a man whose only talent is turning smoke and mirrors into a national pastime. From unpaid contractors to pardoned insurrectionists, this is the story of a grifter who never met a rule he couldn’t break—or rewrite to his advantage.

With the charisma of a snake oil salesman and the ethics of a casino loan shark, he exploits the cracks in democracy with a smile and a signature catchphrase. The result? A divided nation, shattered norms, and a legacy of chaos masquerading as strength. Along the way, his sycophants cheer, his critics scream, and the system that’s supposed to stop him crumbles under the weight of his con.

Darkly comedic and painfully prescient, this isn’t just a tale of one man’s grift—it’s a scathing indictment of the gullibility that made it possible. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when democracy meets its ultimate test, The Conman’s Playbook lays it it’s not the conman you need to fear—it’s the people who believe him. When he gets back in, what will prevent him from never giving up the reins of power?
