Complex Question Fallacy - FT#108

In the one hundred and eighth episode we explore the Complex Question Fallacy, starting with some push polling from Trump and then him ruining Christmas for a sever-year-old.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Keir Starmer trapping Boris Johnson with multiple complex questions, and Kit Malthouse using an accusation of a loaded question as a smoke bomb to avoid a completely reasonable question.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Community, The Bad Guys, The Simpsons, and Mrs Merton.

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 the legal filings and rulings following the Mar-a-Lago 'raid'.

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.)
