Fallacious Trump

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.

    Emergency Bonus Episode!

    Well, it's been quite a week, and rather than try to fit our usual structure around talk of an assassination attempt on a candidate, a sitting President withdrawing his reelection bid a month before the convention, and a former president's felony case for stealing classified documents being completely dismissed by a corrupt judge, we decided to wing it.
