Defining the Appeal to Fame

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-fourth episode, we explore the Appeal to Fame Fallacy, starting with Trump reassuring journalists about TikTok, boasting about famous people asking him questions, and arguing with Terry Moran.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Oasis promoting Tony Blair, Elton John promoting Starmer, and Nigel Farage promoting himself.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Bojack Horseman, The Rocketeer, and Drunk History.

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 final QED.

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.)
