In the one hundred and fortieth episode (in which we swap roles Freaky-Friday-style) we explore the Automation Fallacy, starting with Trump suggesting technology is great for immigration but then disagreeing with himself.

In Jim's British Politics Corner we look at The UK Governments attempts to use algorithms to assign exam grades, fight crime and stop immigrants (not all immigrants - you know which ones) from getting in.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Mr Bates vs The Post Office, I Robot, Little Britain, and Friends.

Mark and Jim go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Jim has to guess which one of three Boris Johnson quotes Mark made up.

Then we talk about Trumps packed trial schedule for 2024.

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.)
