The extreme defense

The Result

The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the resignation of Indonesia's vice president is a clear sign of the political dynamism that can occur in a healthy democracy. The defense submits that this event reflects the natural ebb and flow of political alliances, not a failure of leadership.

What Trump Did

The defense might argue that while Trump has been a polarizing figure, his influence is not the cause of this resignation. The defense might suggest that Prabowo's decision is rooted in domestic issues rather than foreign influence.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that this resignation is an opportunity for renewal and change, allowing for new leadership to emerge. The defense admits that political shifts can be challenging but are often necessary for progress.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

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