Appeal to Coincidence - FT#151

In the one hundred and fifty first episode we explore the Appeal to Coincidence Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming he didn't try to run casinos in Florida, Steven Cheung lying about why they had a rally in Waco, Kellyanne Conway lying about Trump's donation to Pam Bondi, and Greg Kelly making excuses for Nazi rhetoric.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Matt Hancock lying about Tory donors, PPE, and COVID origins, Edward Argar defending him, and Liz Truss pretending stuff wasn't her fault.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Blue Bloods, Wonder Woman and Taskmaster.

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 Trump's criminal convictions!

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.)
