In the thirty-second episode we explore the Appeal to Force Fallacy, starting with examples from Trump reminding people how tough his followers are and then threatening unnecessary Senate investigations in an attempt to avoid being investigated himself.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Nigel Farage equating the fight for Brexit with a real fight, and Jeremy Corbyn invoking Percy Shelley to get the masses fired up.
In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Star Wars and Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Jim and Mark go head to head in a game of Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
And then we discuss the conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death.
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.)
