The Age of Trump has introduced another type of logical error: the loudest person is right.
We saw it in the debates, we saw it in the rallies, we saw it in the press conferences. Has it become common enough to formalize it?
Or. Is it more appropriate to add Trumpian Argument to the list of fallacies? A combination of ad hominums, shouting, making stuff up, making contradictory statements in a single argument, and denying that one has said things that have been recorded.
I know it sounds kind of silly to say that this style of argument needs a name, but given that so very many people fall for it, shouldn’t it be labeled?
