Galileo Fallacy (Redux)

In the one-hundred-and-ninety-first episode, we take another look at the Galileo Fallacy, starting with Trump being compared to Galileo and Einstein, Karoline Leavitt defending RFK Jr, and Rick Perry denying climate change.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Farage misquoting Gandhi, Jonathan Dimbleby defending the BBC, and Zia Yusuf attacking Zack Polanski.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Newsroom, Smallville, and Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.

Then we talk about FEMA official Gregg Phillips and his claims of teleportation.

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.)
