In the one hundred and fifty second episode we explore the Notable Effort Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming he tried really hard to help seniors, John Durham worked hard on his report, and The FBI put a lot of effort into making sure the midterms were fair.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak's claim that he worked hard on reducing NHS waiting lists and also talking to people, and Simon Clarke MP defending the Rwanda bill based on the effort put into its creation.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Raising Hope, The West Wing, and Taskmaster New Zealand.
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 Project 2025.
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.)
