Fallacious Trump

Appeal to Fear - FT#34

Listen on

Episode notes

In the thirty-fourth episode we explore the Appeal to Fear, starting with examples from Trump talking about sanctuary cities, Muslims and Civil War. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Priti Patel using scare tactics to warn people about Labour, and Boris Johnson having his cake and eating it. In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Arrested Development, Mean Girls and The Simpsons. Jim and Mark go head to head in a game of Fake News, the game where Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we breakdown the story so far on whistleblowing and impeachment. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
