In the forty-fifth episode we explore the Appeal to Flattery Fallacy, starting with Trump tweeting compliments about the Prime Minister of Sweden and then lying to his supporters about how smart they are.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson flattering the people who voted for him and then his father Stanley Johnson covering for him with some environmental protesters.
In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from a L'Oreal advert, South Park, and H.G.Wells.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then Jim interviews Simon Chadwick, the author of For the People: A Citizen's Manifesto for Shaping our Nation's Future.
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.)
