In the forty-ninth episode we explore the Historical Fallacy, starting with Tucker Carlson claiming that since we flattened the curve, the lockdowns weren't necessary.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson claiming success and telling everyone how much worse it could have been.
In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Knowing and climate change denier Patrick Michaels.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we discuss some Q-Anon conspiracy nonsense about the 2012 Olympics.
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.)
