Factoid Propagation - FT#122

Fallacious Trump

In the one hundred and twenty second episode we explore Factoid Propagation, starting with Trump claiming there were more votes than voters in Detroit, and that Biden left $85 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak lying about Labour's asylum application backlog and asylum seekers themselves, and both Suella Braverman and Rishi lying about both the demographics of abuse scandals in the Midlands and the reason the police were ineffective in dealing with them.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Simpsons, Desperate Housewives, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and About Last Night.

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 Clarence Thomas's best friend Harlan Crow.

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.)
