Argument from Antiquity - FT#30

In the thirtieth episode we explore the Argument from Antiquity, with examples from Trump on wheels, walls and steam catapults, and KellyAnne Conway on the Census.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson rewriting the history of the British Empire, and Jeremy Corbyn's fans cherry picking his own history.

In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Parks & Recreation, Dr Oz and British stand-up Stewart Lee.

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.

And then we discuss Mueller's testimony to Congress.

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.)
