In the one-hundred-and-ninetieth episode (in which we swap roles Freaky-Friday-style), we explore the Spin Doctoring Fallacy, starting with Trump and co lying about the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and CBP thugs.
In Jim's British Politics Corner, we look at Keir Starmer avoiding a question, and Jo Moore's ill-advised attempts to bury bad news.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Men in Black, Family Guy, and Yes, Minister.
Mark and Jim go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Jim has to guess which one of three Kemi Badenoch quotes Mark made up.
Then we talk about the timeline for ending the Iran war.
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.)
