Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the recent rejection of the president's term extension by Somalia's top court is not merely a domestic issue but a direct consequence of Trump's reckless foreign policy. The prosecution alleges that Trump's disdain for democratic norms has emboldened authoritarian leaders worldwide, creating chaos even in distant Somalia.

The Domino Effect
The prosecution urges that this rejection of a term extension is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Hidden Danger
The prosecution admits that the rejection of the term extension could lead to a power vacuum, which in turn could be exploited by extremist groups.
Closing Argument
In the prosecution's theory, Trump's actions have far-reaching consequences that extend even to Somalia's political landscape.
Verdict
The prosecution urges that we must hold Trump accountable for the chaos he has sown worldwide.
