In the one-hundred-and-sixty-fourth episode, we explore Dysphemism, starting with Trump mischaracterizing the Inflation Reduction Act, immigration, and everyone he disagrees with.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Nigel Farage's attacks on Speaker John Bercow, Rachel Reeves' budget, and the EU parliament.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from House MD, Ally McBeal, and Blue Bloods.
Jim and Mark go head to head in a special Christmas edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which three of nine Trump facts Jim made up.
Then we talk about the absurd reaction to drones over New Jersey.
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.)
