It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

Also his logos is that he wants strong borders, no amnesty and to get rid of the bad people. As well as,his logos regosinate Nafta or cancel Nafta and create a new trade deal.

But nine women isn’t a small number to be considered lying. It’s nine women, not one or two to call them liars. It’s more than enough to believe them.…
