In the twenty-fifth episode we explore the Special Pleading Fallacy, with examples from Trump talking about hiring foreign workers and Sean Spicer on golf.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Theresa May avoiding a question about Brexit and Russell Brand explaining why he doesn't vote.
In The Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Frasier and James Randi debunking a fake psychokineticist.
Then we talked about our new competition, which you can enter at http://fallacioustrump.com/deadpool
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.
We play a quick promo from the Context and Clarity podcast.
And then we discuss Trump's inability to understand tariffs and trade deficits.
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.)
