Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the alarming lack of exercise among teenagers, particularly girls, is a direct consequence of the Trump administration's policies. The prosecution alleges that the focus on deregulation has led to a culture where physical activity is deprioritized in favor of screen time and sedentary lifestyles.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the rise of social media, which exploded during Trump's presidency, has contributed to a decline in physical activity.

The Domino Effect

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution urges that this lack of exercise is not just a personal issue; it is a national crisis that threatens the future of our workforce.

Closing Argument

In the prosecution's theory, the consequences of Trump's policies extend far beyond politics; they are affecting the very health of our youth.

Verdict
