According to Harry Frankfurt's influential 2005 book On Bullshit, the liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it, while the bullshitter does not care whether what they say is true or false. Eduardo Porter writes in The Washington Post that Frankfurt's bullshitter definition fits Trump: "To subvert the truth, you must first know it, or at least think you do. That’s not Trump’s game."

For example, Trump does not, in Porter's argument, have to check US unemployment or inflation statistics to assert that "we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare", because for bullshit, the facts do not matter. On the contrary, by ignoring the facts, bullshit has the power to guide group beliefs in a politically desirable direction and thereby to shape group identities. As early as 2015, Jeet Heer wrote that Trump’s propensity to bullshit is not an aberration in his party: "Over the last two decades, the GOP as a party has increasingly adopted positions that are not just politically extreme but also in defiance of facts and science".

I might be dumb, can someone tell me what "early prices" means?

Then why the fuck is a single pack of shitty instant ramen a whole fucking dollar, Donny? They were literally ten cents literally only four god damned years ago. That should be our only barometer of market success, how much it costs to buy a single pack of shitty instant ramen.

It's one banana Michael, what can it cost, $10?

Well, wait a minute; am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.

Clearly he's never done a normal person thing like grocery shop. Costco beef stew meat went from $5.40/lb to now $8.45/lb in a year looking at an old receipt in the app. Steaks are pretty much out of budget for most people nowadays, doubled in price.

Meanwhile the dollar is crashing worldwide, our allies are now isolating us, and federal troops are shooting citizens!

So much winning it's hard to keep up!!

Eggs are what, 10$? That's nothing, we can afford more.

chocorations have been increased to 20grams!

This man is delusional. He needs to be removed from office.

Remember when they made Bush Sr a one term loser for lying? The Republicans are just sad cult followers at this point.

Bananas are only $9.50 that's good right

"Day and night the telescreens bruised your ears with statistics proving that people today had more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations—that they lived longer, worked shorter hours, were bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of fifty years ago."

So he is doing exactly what they criticized Biden for doing only the middle and lower class are way worse off now. Nothing to see here folks stock market guuuud.

Fake it till you make it, Donnie!

Well, the stock market is doing great, set new records last Tuesday, which scares the shit out of me. There doesn't seem to be real economic backing for this activity. So what happens when we collectively wake up and realize stock prices no longer reflect company value? Seems we had a similar problem in October 1929.

About the only true thing he said is stock market record highs. Unfortunately, most people aren't day traders and actually earn a wage to buy necessities so the ups and downs of the market in the short term are meaningless.

And the GOPs will eat it up right while they are paying higher prices.

How many GOP's does it take to change a lightbulb? ZERO

Trump says he changed it and they all clap in the dark.

If markets are high, it's because of inflation. You know, where the numeric price in [moneys] for items goes up across the board because each unit of [money] has less real value? That's literally what inflation is.
