The Result
The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the recent curfews imposed in central Paris and other cities are a testament to the government's swift response to civil unrest. The defense submits that these measures are necessary to restore order and ensure public safety.
What Trump Did
The defense might argue that while some may seek to blame external factors, the reality is that the French government is taking decisive action to protect its citizens. The defense admits that the riots were a troubling development, but the curfews are a proactive step.
Why Supporters Credit Him
Supporters might argue that these curfews demonstrate a commitment to law and order, reflecting a strong leadership that is often lacking in times of crisis. The defense might suggest that this is a clear indication of the government's resolve to maintain peace.
The Supporting Record
The defense submits that the interior minister's acknowledgment of police losing control is not a failure but a recognition of the need for immediate action.
The Limitation or Competing Explanation
However, the defense might argue that while the riots are unfortunate, they are not indicative of a broader failure of leadership but rather a momentary lapse in public order.
Verdict
If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
