Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the recent interception of a Houthi drone near Mecca is not just a military action, but a direct consequence of the reckless rhetoric propagated by Trump and his administration. The prosecution alleges that this disgraceful act by the Houthis is a reflection of the chaos that Trump has sown in the Middle East.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The Hidden Danger

Closing Argument
