    Is this homework? What do you think the fallacy is? Do you know the meaning of the word fallacy? Look it up, then tell us what you think about the question you asked.

    No, its not deductive. Nothing has been deduced in the sentence. The clue is centred on your observation that there are no facts to support the claim about Nixon. The truth is based pretty much on some type of popular opinion.
