Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Nikki Haley has made a cameo appearance on SNL and then proceeds to quote her statements without providing any context or evidence for their accuracy. This is a form of informal fallacy as it relies on the reader's trust in the source rather than presenting objective information. Secondly, there are several instances where dichotomous depictions are used to portray Donald Trump and Joe Biden negatively. For example, when Haley asks why she cannot debate with Trump because he is not mentally competent, it creates a false dilemma between mental competency and the ability to participate in debates. This is an informal fallacy as it oversimplifies complex issues into black-and-white categories. Thirdly, there are several instances where inflammatory rhetoric is used to portray Trump negatively, such as when he says that women should never run the economy and that they are terrible with money. This is an informal fallacy as it relies on emotional appeals rather than presenting objective information or evidence. Overall, while there are no formal fallacies in this article, there are several instances of informal fallacies which could have been avoided.
