Hyperbolic Fallacy

In the twentieth episode we explore the Hyperbolic Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about his great memory and a selection of the things that he's the best in the world at.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Liam Fox being over optimistic about Brexit and Boris Johnson choosing an unfortunate adjective.

In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from 'American Dad' and Angelina Jolie's cancer doctor as well as John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

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 have an interview with veteran reporter Joe Strupp, author of Killing Journalism: How Greed, Laziness (and Donald Trump) Are Destroying News and How We Can Save It

Finally, we round up some of the 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.)
