The extreme prosecution

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the recent explosions in Ethiopia's capital are not merely coincidental but rather a direct result of the reckless drone policies championed by former President Trump. The prosecution alleges that by promoting unchecked drone usage, Trump has emboldened rogue states and militant groups worldwide.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the ban on drone flights in Ethiopia is a desperate attempt to regain control over a situation spiraled out of Trump's influence. The prosecution imagines that the chaos following this ban is a clear indication of how Trump's policies have destabilized regions far beyond American borders.

The Domino Effect

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution urges that these explosions are just the beginning. The prosecution admits that the ramifications of Trump's drone policies could lead to a humanitarian crisis, with innocent lives at stake.

Closing Argument
