Deportations, Drilling and Pardons: Donald Trump’s ‘Day One’ Promises

The article provides a detailed summary of Trump’s Day One agenda but is undercut by fallacious reasoning. Ad hominem arises in the description of Trump's actions, such as labeling policies as “dictatorial” without proper context. An appeal to emotion is evident in language like “vicious and bloodthirsty criminals,” which inflames rather than informs. False cause appears in linking drilling directly to lowering inflation without addressing complex economic factors. A slippery slope is employed when suggesting wide-reaching and catastrophic outcomes from energy deregulation or pardons. Finally, ambiguity fallacy is present in vague statements such as “end the green new scam,” which lacks specific substance or measurable outcomes.
