In the one-hundred-and-sixty-eighth episode, we explore the Euphemism Fallacy, starting with Trump hiding the true evil of his Executive Orders, lying about pro-life activists he pardoned, and minimizing the Access Hollywood tape.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Allegra Stratton struggling to come up with an excuse for parties at Number 10 during lockdown, and Boris kind of apologising for them after the fact, then we consider popular political euphemisms for lying, and finish up with Nigel Farage minimizing bogotry.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The West Wing, Bob's Burgers, and Blackadder.

Then we announced our Oscars pool, which you can take part in at https://fallacioustrump.com/oscars and for every entry we get, we'll donate $5 to https://www.elevatedaccess.org/

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 Trump 's plans for the Gaza strip.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
