In the one hundred and twenty fourth episode we explore the Just Because Fallacy, starting with Trump giving no reason why Mexico would pay for his wall and expecting people to trust his expertise on liars.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak claiming Britons already trust him, Kemi Badenoch implying her status as Trade Secretary should be all the proof you need to ignore facts about trade, and Jacob Rees Mogg waxing lyrical on the happiness of fish.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Little House on the Prairie, Sanford and Son, and Diff'rent Strokes.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we talk about CNN's Trump Town Hall.
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.)
