In the one hundred and first episode we explore the Greater Good Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming Dems should stop resisting so he can get on with working for the common good, and Blue Lives Matter founder Joseph Imperatrice complaining about kneeling in the NFL.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at a Green Party broadcast from 2014, David Davis MP struggling to defend Boris, and Geoffrey Howe's resignation speech when he had had enough of defending Margaret Thatcher.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from 1984, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Hot Fuzz, and Killing Eve.
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 how Trump-endorsed candidates did in the midterm primaries.
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.)
