The prosecution alleges that this is a desperate attempt to shift the narrative away from Trump's undeniable successes.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

Closing Argument
In this fictional case, the prosecution argues that the Democrats are playing a dangerous game, risking the stability of the nation for their own political gain.
