SOMEHOW, IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the ban on DeepSeek AI is not merely a precautionary measure but a direct consequence of the Trump administration's reckless policies. The prosecution alleges that this decision reflects a broader pattern of fear and paranoia that Trump instilled in government agencies. Exhibit A: The Plausible Link: The prosecution submits that the rise of DeepSeek, a powerful AI model from China, is a direct result of the technological stagnation that Trump’s trade wars caused. The prosecution imagines that this stagnation led to a desperate need for advanced technology, pushing the US to ban foreign innovations. The prosecution alleges: The Domino Effect: The prosecution urges that banning DeepSeek will lead to a cascade of failures in US technology, crippling our competitive edge. The prosecution alleges: The Hidden Danger: The prosecution admits that the ban could lead to a chilling effect on innovation, as US companies may fear similar repercussions. The prosecution alleges: Closing Argument: In the prosecution's theory, the ban is not just a reaction to a foreign threat but a misguided attempt to cover up the failures of the Trump administration. The prosecution alleges: Verdict: The prosecution concludes that this ban is a desperate attempt to mask the incompetence of leadership that has left the nation vulnerable.
