Argument from Silence
Fallacious Trump27 Dec 2021

Argument from Silence

In the ninetieth episode we explore the Argument from Silence, starting with Trump assuming everyone is flirting with him even if they don't know it themselves, and assuming people who take the fifth are guilty, and Marjorie Taylor Greene harassing school shooting survivor David Hogg.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Simon Case not answering any questions, and Boris suggesting reporters shouldn't ask questions.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Office, Catch-22 and Did Marco Polo Go To China?.

Jim and Mark go head to head in a very special Christmassy edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which musical artist threatened legal action to get Trump to stop playing their songs.

Then we talk about the money Trump is making by hosting Republican fund raisers at Mar-a-Lago, and Melania's attempt to enter the world of NFTs.

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.)
