If "bullshit" means talking
about what you don't know about (not really lying) when certain
circumstances seem to call for it, as Chilton Williamson pointed out
in a review on the subject of bullshit (Chronicles Jan. 2017), then
Donald Trump's political style is not really bullshitting, he seems
to be using a technique he uses in making business deals, it is more
like jazz improvisations on a theme.
We hope Trump's future improvisations
will be on the theme of America First, but as I mentioned here
before, even though Trump seems to be making buddies with Putin, that
may end up being bullshit on his (and his advisers) eventual theme of
creating another bi-polar world, with the U.S., Israel, the Sunni
states, and a few Europeans on the Western pole, and Russia, Iran,
China and a few European states on the Eastern pole. I don't see
Putin abandoning Shi'ite Islam and I don't see Trump abandoning
Israel.
