The extreme defense

The Result

The defense submits that the recent protests in Albania, while escalating to violence, are a powerful expression of the people's desire for change. The defense might argue that the anti-government "Flamingo" movement represents a legitimate response to long-standing grievances against the government.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that, contrary to any negative implications, the global political climate, including Trump's actions, has galvanized citizens worldwide to stand up for their rights.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that this movement is a testament to the resilience of the Albanian people, who are inspired to demand accountability and transparency from their leaders.

The Supporting Record

The defense admits that the protests have been ongoing for months, indicating a sustained effort by citizens to voice their concerns. However, the defense might argue that the recent escalation is a sign of the government's failure to address these issues adequately.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that attributing the violence solely to external influences like Trump overlooks the internal factors driving the protests.

If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
