Trump, more often than not, isn't interested in convincing anyone of anything. He's a bullshitter who simply doesn't care.

Trump 'told Putin he'd bomb **** out of Moscow if he attacked Ukraine'

Seemingly in reference to his first term, Trump can be heard saying: 'With Putin I said,

www.dailymail.co.uk

The phrase "Trump as bullshitter" is widely discussed in both academic and popular commentary, and it refers to a specific style of communication attributed to Donald Trump that is distinct from straightforward lying. According to philosopher Harry Frankfurt, a bullshitter is someone who is indifferent to the truth—unlike a liar, who knows the truth and seeks to conceal it, the bullshitter simply does not care whether what they say is true or false, focusing instead on whatever serves their immediate purpose5624.

Trump is frequently described as a bullshitter because:

• He often makes statements without regard for their factual accuracy, using hyperbole, anecdotes, and salesmanship to create a narrative that suits his goals6410.
• His communication style is less about convincing people of a particular truth and more about projecting confidence, charisma, and a desired reality410.
• This approach can be effective in politics, where creating a compelling story or persona can be more influential than strict adherence to facts64.

As summarized by Vox and other sources:

"Trump, more often than not, isn't interested in convincing anyone of anything. He's a bullshitter who simply doesn't care."4

This style is seen as more dangerous than lying by some commentators, because misinformation spread without concern for truth is harder to correct and can have a broader impact, especially in the age of social media27.

Trump himself has used the term "Bushie" as a derogatory label for members of the Bush political family or their allies, whom he sees as establishment figures opposed to his own brand of politics98. However, the term "bushitter" is not commonly used in mainstream discourse and appears to be a play on words combining "Bush" and "bullshitter." If your question refers to Trump using or being labeled as a "bushitter," there is no evidence in the search results of this specific term being widely adopted or used by Trump or his critics. The prevailing discussion centers on Trump as a bullshitter in the Frankfurtian sense, not as a "bushitter."

Isn't it crazy how the media are going absolutely berzerk on Labour raising taxes and funding services, when not much is said of raising defence spending from 2.2% of GDP to 5% to please uncle Sam's defence industries - supposedly to bolster NATO.

They want the tax payer to look at the right hand, whilst being fleeced by the left hand.

Keep wars going to justify the want for more money. Create fictitious enemies and sexed up dossiers. War is good business. Make loadsa money.

Wash rinse, repeat!
