"Beyerstein explores Trump’s relationship with the truth through the lens
of philosopher Harry Frankfurt’s classic paper “On Bullshit,” in which
he argues that the hallmark of bullshit is an indifference to the truth.
A liar knows the truth and takes pains to misrepresent it convincingly,
but a bullshitter casually mixes fact and fiction because, for him, the
truth is beside the point."
