In the two-hundred-and-first episode, we take another look at the Tu Quoque fallacy, starting with Trump calling Biden a threat to democracy, James Comer equating Biden finding a few documents in his garage and calling the FBI to Trump stealing dozens of boxes and lying about them, then Marjorie Taylor Greene claiming Democrats worship George Floyd, and Mike Johnson not denying that Trump is unhinged.
In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Nadine Dorries, Nigel Farage, and '30p Lee' Anderson trying to defend Reform's illegal foreign donations by claiming everyone does it.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Futurama, I Love Lucy, and The Simpsons.
Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.
Then we talk about Trump's attempt to fix mail-in ballots by telling the Post Office not to deliver them.
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.)
