Read the full prosecution

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the recent storm in southern France, which tragically resulted in at least four deaths, is a direct consequence of the negligence exhibited by former President Trump regarding climate change. The prosecution alleges that his administration's rollback of environmental protections has led to increasingly severe weather patterns worldwide.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the flooding in the Bouches-du-Rhône region is not merely a natural disaster but a manifestation of Trump's policies that prioritize corporate interests over environmental safety. The prosecution imagines that the two women found drowned in a cellar are victims of a larger conspiracy of neglect.

The Domino Effect

The prosecution urges that this storm is just one of many disasters linked to Trump's climate denial.

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution admits that if we do not hold Trump accountable, future storms will become even deadlier.

Closing Argument

In this fictional case, the prosecution argues that Trump's legacy is one of destruction and despair.

Verdict

The prosecution urges that we must recognize the connection between Trump's actions and these tragic events.

Prosecution exhibits

  1. Prosecution theory: Increased flooding leads to more deaths.
  2. Prosecution theory: More deaths lead to public outcry.
  3. Prosecution theory: Public outcry leads to political instability.

What Trump Did

Why Supporters Credit Him

The Supporting Record

If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
