Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc - FT#13

In the thirteenth episode we explore Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc, with examples from Trump talking about how he singlehandedly stopped planes crashing, while Obama was responsible for thousands of deaths in Chicago.

In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson's claims about the legacy of the London Olympics, and Paul Nuttall's theory on immigration and unemployment.

In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends and Sesame Street, and discuss superstition and pigeons in boxes.

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

And finally we talk about Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman's plot to smear Mueller, and 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.)
