In the one-hundred-and-seventy-first episode, we explore the Golden Hammer Fallacy, starting with Trump trying to use tariffs to solve every problem and Dr. Oz recommending acupuncture for multiple ailments.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at the many problems Brexit was destined to solve, and the many Brexit-related problems that could be solved by rejoining the EU.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Blackadder, 30 Rock, and the IT Crowd.

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 the mishap in which Pete Hegseth accidentally texted war plans to a journalist.

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.)
