Gotcha Argument

In the eighty-seventh episode we explore the Gotcha Argument, starting with Trump revealing how unprepared he was to answer foreign policy questions as a candidate, and failing to clarify Jared Kushner's statement on the Strategic National Stockpile. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Matt Hancock refusing to answer a question he didn't like, and Boris Johnson waffling an answer about refurbishing his apartment. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Game Change, Veep, and Parks and Recreation. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we talk about the maybe not all that bad implications of the Democrat's recent election losses. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

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.)
