In the fiftieth (yay!) episode we explore the Alleged Certainty Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming that everyone knows what crimes Obama committed. Then we hear 50 other things everyone knows according to Trump.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at the government attempting to explain how Staying Alert is better than Staying Home.
In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Bee Movie, Singing in the Rain and Muppets Most Wanted.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Our sponsors this week are the good folk over at Super Politics Podcast. You can find their show at superpoliticsshow.com
Then Jim interviews author and logical fallacy guru Dr Bo Bennett, whose new book is Rules of Reason, which you can get at https://amzn.to/2TAZqvk.
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.)
