Argument from Authority - FT#16

In the sixteenth episode we explore the Argument from Authority Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Tom Brady and the National Enquirer.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Paloma Faith's views on Brexit and Boris Johnson's views on niqābs.

In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Dinosaurs, Fox News talking about Mass Effect, and Jim's sister's friend the nurse.

Jim and Mark go head to head in a slightly different game of Fake News, inspired by Trump's cameo in Christmas classic Home Alone 2.

And finally we talk about the War on Christmas, and 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.)
