Promised Proof Fallacy - FT#66

In the sixty-sixth episode we explore Promised Proof, starting out with Trump promising proof for rain in France and Mexico sending their criminals to the US, and a Trump supporter promising proof of Antifa attacking the Capitol.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson promising that he has seen evidence that Dominic Cummings didn't do anything wrong, but you can't see it.

In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from 'Murder, She Wrote' and Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Jim and guest host Frank go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Frank has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then we talk about the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol on January 6th.

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.)
