The first fallacy is red herring-
" Nearly half of women and girls killed in the United States are the victims of a current or former romantic partner, and in most cases, the weapon is a gun. Congress, in 1996, passed legislation to keep guns out of the hands of people who commit domestic violence, but over time, clear loopholes have emerged." If you read this article you will notice that there is a lot of talk about Mr.Porter did to his ex wife and why would president trump hire a man with such a bad past and all so this quote from paragraph 7 just does not make since to me on why it is in there. This is why I think that the fallacy Red Herring is so accurate because its like gun control is used as a distraction or something because personally I don't see how that has to d with trump not caring about women.
fallacy number 2 appeal to misleading authority.
I think this is a great example for this article because the entire article is about how trump being in a authoritative positions has mislead the country by putting the wrong person or people in charge of important positions in are country.
