Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The Domino Effect

The Hidden Danger

Closing Argument
The prosecutor alleges that the consequences of Trump's actions extend far beyond American borders, impacting lives globally.
Verdict
The prosecution submits that this is not just a storm; it is a storm of Trump's making.
