In the one-hundred-and-ninety-eighth episode, we look at the Blinded By AI fallacy, starting with RFK relying on AI for public heath advice, Mike Johnson talking about DOGE's use of AI, and Elon's promises to make his own Odyssey.
In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Boris and Keir both making wild promises about AI, and Yvette Cooper touting AI facial recognition for crime fighting.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out a tweet about the Pope at the World Series, Richard Dawkins being wrong about Claude, and St. Denis Medical.
Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.
Then we talk about the reflecting pool again.
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.)
