Does this syllogism make sense to you?
1. Trump's followers prefer Trump
2. America's enemies prefer Trump
3. Trumpists are enemies of America
2. America's enemies prefer Trump
3. Trumpists are enemies of America

can someone explain the word syllogism to me. I knocked over a glass of wine trying to go for the dictionary and then I had to try and clean the carpet, and the dictionary just says: a form of deductive reasoning consisting of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion....' can I get a better clarification please. I'll wait for an answer while I sip new wine and try more carpet cleaning

2. All humans are apes
3. Humans are animals
