What is a loaded question?
In: 95
A loaded question is one that presumes a particular answer by its phrasing. A famous example is “Do you still beat your wife?” Whether the person answers yes or no, you can accuse them at least of beating their wife in the past even if they never did.
This is also very popular in political discussions. “Why is Biden allowing gas prices to go so high?” The answer is not as simple as giving a reason because it could have little or nothing to do with him.
