Check out this episode on logical fallacies and how to spot them...including catching them in presidential comments, Tweets and debates! Some fallacies we explore are the "Strawman," "Slippery Slope" and "Red Herring" moves, with lots of Trump examples (and a few of our own) to illustrate how they try to manipulate us as thinkers. How can we catch them in our *own* arguments? We talk about that, too!
