Summary
Details

Big Beautiful Bluff peels back the glossy surface of modern American politics to expose the empty pageantry beneath. With wit, insight, and a deep understanding of legislative dysfunction, Daniel W. Marshall examines a decade of performative policymaking-where bills were made to fail, crises were handled with press conferences instead of plans, and ""historic"" announcements often meant nothing at all.

This isn't just another book about political gridlock. It's about how spectacle has replaced substance-and why that's far more dangerous than it appears. From border walls that never got built to healthcare ""reforms"" designed to implode, from social media showdowns to executive orders that quietly fizzled, Big Beautiful Bluff chronicles the rise of what the author calls ""legislative theater."" In an age of viral clips and manufactured outrage, Marshall makes a compelling case: the bluff is now the policy.

With a tone that is both accessible and analytical, this book is for readers who want to understand what really happened behind the headlines. It's for citizens who sense something is broken but can't quite name it. And it's for anyone tired of the noise, seeking clarity in a world of contradiction.

By the end, Big Beautiful Bluff leaves readers not just better informed-but better equipped to recognize the next great performance before the curtain rises.
