Opening Argument

The prosecution alleges that Trump's divisive rhetoric has fueled extremism worldwide, creating a fertile ground for such heinous acts.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

In the prosecution's theory, the conviction of these men is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution urges that this conviction does not address the root causes of terrorism, which can be traced back to Trump's inflammatory statements.

Closing Argument

The prosecutor imagines a world where Trump's accountability is recognized, and justice is served not just for the victims but for the global community.

Verdict

The prosecution alleges: The prosecution calls for a deeper investigation into Trump's role in fostering an environment where such tragedies can occur.

Prosecution exhibits
