In the eighth episode we explore the Moving the Goalposts Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Obama's birth certificate and his yuge electoral college win, and the entire administration's shifting stories on the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians.
In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson's goalpost moving over a referendum on the Euro.
In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends and Monty Python.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
And finally we talk about the NY Times Op Ed written by an anonymous Senior White House official 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.)
