Deepfakes are already being used in political manipulation. The success of the bullshitter, and Republicans who pressure each other to believe even obvious lies, has made the US more vulnerable to them.
The hypothetical deepfake described at the end of the article goes only a little beyond what the bullshitter has already hinted at. It would not surprise me if he really said that, before the 2020 election. By lying repeatedly about his past statements, he has prepared a situation in which we would be unable to tell if such a video is true or fake.
I think this is precisely his intention.
It looks like the cheater rewarded campaign support from William Koch by telling the IRS to dismiss an investigation into reported tax fraud at his businesses.

Seawalls to Protect US Against Rising Oceans Could Cost $416bn by 2040.
That spending would be as futile as trying to bail the water out of the ocean. By 2070 we would need to spend another 400 billion, or perhaps another 800 billion or 2 trillion, because (1) the cost of each cm of sea wall increases as it gets taller and (2) sea-level rise will accelerate with time.
We can't afford to cure this problem. The only remedy we can afford is to prevent it.
