False Consensus

ICYMI: There is also a video version of this special 100th episode which you can watch at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft100. Please enjoy either version! Or both, I'm not the boss of you.

In the one hundredth (yay!) episode we explore the False Consensus Fallacy, starting with a special guest, and then we hear Trump claiming nobody knew that lots of people die from the flu, insisting everyone feels like he does about protesters, and tweeting about how everyone in politics colludes with foreign agents.

In Mark's British Politics Corner (after another special guest) we look at Michael Gove insisting there's a consensus that taxing energy companies on their huge profits would be really bad, and Lee Anderson MP assuming that poor people are as bad at budgeting as he and his rich friends are.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we hear from one final super special guest, and then check out examples from Friends, Footloose, and Beverly Hills 90210.

Jim and Mark go head to head in a special 100th Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which thing Trump thinks go 'bing', and we hear from some of our previous guest presenters.

Then we talk about Madison Cawthorn and the campaign against him within his own party (we recorded this before his humiliating defeat on Tuesday).

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week before playing a compilation of 100 things that Trump claims nobody knows.

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.)
