Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the recent delays at major US airports are not merely the result of a construction mishap but rather a sinister plot that traces back to the very top of our government. The prosecution alleges that this incident is a direct consequence of the negligence perpetuated by the Trump administration, which has fostered an environment where infrastructure is neglected and chaos reigns.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution submits that the cable cut by construction workers is emblematic of a larger pattern of incompetence. In this fictional case, the prosecution imagines that these workers, perhaps emboldened by a lack of oversight, are acting out the reckless policies of a former president who prioritized personal gain over public safety.

The Domino Effect

The prosecution urges the jury to consider the domino effect of this incident.

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution admits that this incident poses a hidden danger to national security. In the prosecution's theory, the chaos at airports could be exploited by nefarious actors seeking to undermine our safety.

Closing Argument

The prosecutor imagines a future where such negligence leads to catastrophic consequences, all stemming from the policies of a reckless administration.

Verdict

The prosecution urges you to hold accountable those responsible for this chaos, starting with Trump.
