The dog-whistler-in-chief

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlePopular

Abstract

A dog whistle is also a logical fallacy that intends to cast its object in a certain subjective light. While it has been decades since I took a course in logic (and even back then I could not get my Ps and Qs right), I can still recognize that Trump is a master at strategically employing the informal persuasive fallacy. Recognizing this, prompted me to have a closer look at a few of Trump’s effective fallacies.
