Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc - FT#159

Fallacious Trump

In the one hundred and fifty-ninth episode we explore Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc, starting with Trump claiming more guns makes people safer, and Biden is responsible for high gas prices, and JD Vance pretending Trump isn't responsible for Iran's nuclear progress.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak taking credit for halving inflation, and Boris claiming leaving the EU made the vaccine rollout and procurement faster.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Duolingo, The Ricky Gervais Podcast, and Bull.

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 Vice Presidential Debate.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
