Appeal to Coincidence - FT#151

In the one hundred and fifty first episode we explore the Appeal to Coincidence Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming he didn't try to run casinos in Florida, Steven Cheung lying about why they had a rally in Waco, Kellyanne Conway lying about Trump's donation to Pam Bondi, and Greg Kelly making excuses for Nazi rhetoric.In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Matt Hancock lying about Tory donors, PPE, and COVID origins, Edward Argar defending him, and Liz Truss pretending stuff wasn't her fault.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Blue Bloods, Wonder Woman and Taskmaster.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 criminal convictions!And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft151 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.
