In the twenty-fourth episode we explore the Ignoratio Elenchi Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Charlottesville and impeachment.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Theresa May avoiding a question about NHS funding and Michael Howard avoiding a question about Prisons.
In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Simpsons, a tweet about CO2 emissions, and Judgement at Nuremberg.
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 made up.
We had a quick promo from the Genuine Chit-Chat podcast.
And then we discuss the Mueller report and find out what Barr was covering up with his cherry picked quotes.
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.)
