In the one hundred and thirty eighth episode we explore the Bulverism Fallacy, starting with Trump suggesting reporters are against him and indictments are political persecution.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at a Red Herring from Rishi, Nigel Farage questioning Coutts motives for closing his account, and Mike Graham losing an argument to a carpenter.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Sister Sister, and Casablanca.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark (and our special guest Ian) have to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we talk our guest, author, stand up and QED Quiz host Ian Hawkins.
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.)
