The author makes several statements that contain informal fallacies. Trump is quoted as saying 'You do a great job of service, you take care of people and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved.' This statement contains an appeal to emotion fallacy as Trump is appealing to the emotions of the crowd by praising their service and hard work. Additionally, Trump's statement 'The only way they can beat us is to cheat' contains a false dilemma fallacy as it presents only two options when there may be more. The author also mentions several instances where Trump makes derogatory statements about individuals, such as Jack Smith and Joe Biden, which contain ad hominem fallacies.
'So this is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips people (are) making.', 'You do a great job of service, you take care of people and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved.', 'The only way they can beat us is to cheat.'

The author makes an appeal to authority when stating that 'Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the 2020 election was tainted.' This statement implies that the opinions of these officials hold weight in determining the validity of the 2020 election. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric used by Trump when he refers to Jan. 6 rioters as 'victims' and a 'set up,' which could be perceived as an attempt to downplay the severity of their actions.
