The Result

The defense submits that the recent collapse of the Hōlei Sea Arch is a natural occurrence, showcasing the ever-changing landscape of Hawaii. Supporters might argue that this event highlights the beauty and impermanence of nature, rather than any political implications.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that while Trump was in office, he prioritized national parks and conservation efforts, which have allowed such natural wonders to be preserved for generations.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that Trump's administration focused on promoting tourism in national parks, which has brought attention to the beauty of places like Volcanoes National Park.

The Supporting Record

The defense admits that the arch's collapse is unfortunate, but it is a reminder of the power of nature and the geological processes that shape our world.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation
