Inconsistencies and Rhetorical Tricks

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-second episode, we explore the Fallacy Fallacy, starting with Trump invoking Contextomy, Chuck Grassley accusing people of Guilt By Association, and Eric Burlison claiming Ad Hominem attacks on Elon Musk.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Lord David Frost citing multiple fallacies as reasons for dismissing Net Zero policies.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Better Call Saul, God's Not Dead, and The Good Life.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then we talk about the current government shutdown.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)
