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.

It highlights Kemi Badenoch's justification of illegal kidnapping and examines David Cameron's hypocrisy on offshore taxes.

The convo wraps up with a look at other crazy Trump stories and systemic violence against marginalized communities.

Happy New Year! We're currently watching Airplane vs Volcano, a terrible Dean Cain movie, and breaking it down for our Patrons in great detail. In the spirit of the season, we thought it should be shared with more of you, so here's the second part of our breakdown, just in case you're interested. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe.There's a LOT to hate about this film, so there's plenty more on our Patreon at patreon.com/ftrump if you just can't get enough... We're sorry.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
