Fallacious Trump
Jim & Mark
Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.

Genetic Fallacy - FT#1
Welcome to Fallacious Trump, the podcast where we use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies.In the first episode we explore the Genetic Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, Obamacare and global warming, and we discuss the difference between committing the genetic fallacy and considering the source like a good skeptic.In Mark's UK Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson's accusations against Russia in the Skripal affair.In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Friends and South Park.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 the leaks coming out of the White House and round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.You can contact the guys at fallacioustrump@gmail.com or on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, and you can support the show on patreon at http://patreon.com/ftrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
