Description

In the one-hundred-and-seventy-ninth episode, we explore the Ethnocentric Fallacy, starting with Trump pretending Americans invented everything, and claiming everyone wants to do business with the US.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Nigel Farage boasting about how open-minded and accepting the Brits are, Kemi Badenoch ranking the cultures, and Boris Johnson harking back to an imagined halcyon past.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and Parks & Recreation.

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

Then we talk about the Epstein files.

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.)
