The extreme defense

The Result

Supporters might argue that the recent reports of sharp objects found in Halloween sweets in Austria, Germany, and Hungary are simply isolated incidents that do not reflect the overall safety of Halloween treats. The defense submits that these cases, including a nine-year-old girl who hurt her tongue on a pin, are unfortunate but not indicative of a systemic problem.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that under Trump's leadership, there has been a focus on deregulation that has allowed businesses to thrive, including the candy industry.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that this deregulation has led to a booming economy, which benefits all sectors, including food production.

The Supporting Record

The defense admits that while these incidents are concerning, they are statistically insignificant compared to the vast number of safe treats enjoyed by millions.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that these incidents could be attributed to individual negligence rather than a failure of the entire system.

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