His question is nothing but a complex question fallacy in the form of a leading question.
A complex question is a fallacy in which the answer to a given question presupposes a prior answer to a prior question. Also known as (or closely related to) a loaded question, a trick question, a leading question, the fallacy of the false question, and the fallacy of many questions.
"Have you stopped beating your wife?" is the classic example of the complex question. Ralph Keyes has traced this example back to a 1914 book of legal humor. Since then, he says, it "has . . . become the standard allusion to any question that can't be answered without self-incrimination" (I Love It When You Talk Retro, 2009).

A leading question is a type of question that implies or contains its own answer. By contrast, a neutral question is expressed in a way that doesn't suggest its own answer. Leading questions can serve as a form of persuasion. They are rhetorical in the sense that the implied answers can be an attempt to shape or determine a response.

A neutral version would be, something like asking if a person puts an unreasonable valuation on a piece of property are they committing fraud? The answer there would be, It depends. It depends on the exact nature of that valuation, as well as whether it is so obvious that valuation is wrong as to make it laughable. Fraud involves the person committing it taking care to make the lie imperceptible to the party to be defrauded otherwise that party will likely see through the scheme.

Yes, it is quite clear that the state of New York is out to get Trump by any means possible no matter how corrupt, crooked, or mendacious it may be. Trump may be a lot of negatives, and many people clearly hate him, but that shouldn't be reason to upend our justice system and turn it into one that seeks revenge and destruction over reason and fairness.

it shows how much "build the wall" and tariffs truly do upset the globalist applecart.
One case in one state is hardly up ending our judicial system. You’ve been trumped.
You've been Biden-ed.
How so? I don’t believe that all Judges are corrupt, or that there was hidden evidence on hunters, laptop. I don’t fall for that kind of shit.

You’d probably be surprised at how much I agree with you about. We only bump heads about the stuff we disagree on.Fair enough. The reality is that we have ALL turned more to trolling because there is not near enough legitimate discussion on this board. And I know you are one of those posters who would like to see more discussion. With all of the gun threads we have had on this board, it's surprising that I didn't know your position on this. I'm not sure if you haven't expressed it or if I simply missed it. Either way, it's a shame I didn't know that. But I blame general tenor of this board (and frankly all boards like this) not the posters. While I disagree with a lot of your positions, we clearly also agree on some very important ones (the need to protect our European allies for example). I try to fight my urgency to troll, but I certainly have lost that fight on many, many occasions. So I'll commit to a reset, I'll try to be less blunt and frontal, and focus on what you have to say. I consider you a very smart guy. And I would not say that about 90% of the posters here, so I'll proceed in that light. Your post gave me pause to think about how I come off, so I appreciate that. Carry on!!!! In fact, if I can find it, I'll go back and respond seriously to that question about why I might seemingly be voting against my selfish interest. That question actually has some real possibilities for a nuanced discussion. Hell, I'll just flat out start a thread, I hope you'll participate. I know who won't though. Earl.
