Fallacious Trump

Alleged Certainty - FT#50

Listen on

Episode notes

In the fiftieth (yay!) episode we explore the Alleged Certainty Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming that everyone knows what crimes Obama committed. Then we hear 50 other things everyone knows according to Trump.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at the government attempting to explain how Staying Alert is better than Staying Home.

In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Bee Movie, Singing in the Rain and Muppets Most Wanted.

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.

Our sponsors this week are the good folk over at Super Politics Podcast. You can find their show at superpoliticsshow.com

Then Jim interviews author and logical fallacy guru Dr Bo Bennett, whose new book is Rules of Reason, which you can get at https://amzn.to/2TAZqvk.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
