Donald Trump as a critical-thinking teaching assistant. Sullivan, S. Informal Logic, 38(1):118–132, 2018. doi abstract bibtex Donald Trump has been a godsend for those of us who teach critical thinking. For he is a fount of manipulative rhetoric, glaring fallacies, conspiracy theories, fake news, and bullshit. In this paper I draw on my own recent teaching experience in order to discuss both the usefulness and the limits of using Trumpexamples in teaching critical thinking. In Section One I give the framework of the course; in Section Two I indicate Trump's relevance to many important concepts in the course; and in Section Three I argue that criticalthinking instructors should restrain themselves from overreliance on Trump-examples. © 2018, Stephen Sullivan.
