Counterfactual Fallacy - FT#37

In the thirty-seventh episode we explore the Counterfactual Fallacy, starting with examples from Trump talking about hypothetical wars with North Korea, and the terrible economy that would have happened if he hadn't won the election.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson and David Cameron talking about what would have happened if Brexit votes had gone differently.

In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends, Steven Spielberg, and Pete Townshend.

Jim and Mark go head to head in a game of Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim (or in this case a listener) made up.

Then we breakdown the televised impeachment hearings.

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.)
