Chronocentrism

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-fifth episode, we explore the Chronocentrism Fallacy, starting with Trump going overboard announcing the Gaza ceasefire, a Trump fan saying when he thinks America was great the first time, and Eisenhower responding to Adlai Stevenson's campaign slogan.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Thatcher in 1980 claiming everything's great, Cameron in 2016 claiming everything's great, Lord Bates claiming everything will soon be great, Boris Johnson claiming when you look back in 30 years' time everything now will seem great, and Starmer claiming he will make everything great.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Frasier, Quantum Leap, and Modern Family.

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 the recently released Epstein emails.

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.)
