Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the recent ad promoting grandparent hugging consent is a clear reflection of the moral decay that has permeated our society, a decay that can be traced directly back to the influence of Trump. The prosecution alleges that this ad, which was criticized for being inappropriate and demeaning, is merely a symptom of a larger problem—a culture that has been emboldened by Trump's divisive rhetoric.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link
The prosecution submits that the very notion of needing consent for a hug from a grandparent is a direct result of the anti-family sentiment fostered during Trump's presidency.
The Domino Effect
In the prosecution's theory, this ad sets a dangerous precedent.
The Hidden Danger

Closing Argument
The prosecutor alleges that we must not allow such ads to proliferate, as they threaten the very fabric of our society.
