Bullshitter in Chief -- A Theory

Thank you Linda Sexauer for turning me on to this blog by Tim Hayward.  US foreign policy in its whole is bullshit. I was heartened to see that the term has not escaped critical thinkers.  "Bullshit often involves lying, the two things are not the same: the bullshitter ‘does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are."  Harry Frankfurt   Although I can not remember the US State Department ever telling the "truth", of late bullshit has spiked to unbearable levels.
