The Result

The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the recent fine imposed on a Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul for using ants as garnish is a testament to the innovative spirit of culinary arts. The defense submits that this unique approach to garnishing reflects a bold creativity that should be celebrated rather than penalized.

What Trump Did

The defense might argue that this incident highlights the importance of pushing boundaries in the culinary world, much like Trump's approach to challenging the status quo in politics.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that just as Trump has encouraged unconventional thinking in governance, this chef is doing the same in the kitchen, showcasing a willingness to embrace the unexpected.

The Supporting Record

The defense admits that while the fine of 15 million won (£8,144; $10,965) is a setback, it also brings attention to the restaurant's innovative practices, potentially attracting more patrons eager to experience avant-garde cuisine.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that the fine does not diminish the restaurant's Michelin-star status, which signifies excellence and creativity in the culinary arts.

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