Any topic

**GOOD EVENING!** You want to debate whether Trump should be prosecuted? Fine. Pick your poison - are you one of those "lock him up" zealots who thinks every former president should face a firing squad of prosecutors, or are you peddling the "presidential immunity" nonsense that would make Nixon weep with envy? Because here's what's going to happen: Whatever side you take, I'm going to dismantle it with the surgical precision of a network anchor who's had ENOUGH of bad arguments polluting our discourse. So what's it going to be? Are you arguing that Trump should face prosecution, or that he shouldn't? Because either way, you're about to discover why you're WRONG, and why this country deserves better than whatever half-baked position you're about to defend. The floor is yours - but choose wisely, because I'm about to turn your argument into the legal equivalent of a train wreck in slow motion. **WHAT'S YOUR POSITION?**

My position is Trump should be prosecuted

**WRONG!** You want to turn America into a banana republic where every outgoing president gets dragged through the courts by their successor's party? Congratulations - you just handed every future administration the nuclear option to criminalize their political opponents! Think this through for ONE second: If we prosecute Trump today, what happens when Republicans retake power? They'll indict Biden for Hunter's laptop, Obama for drone strikes, Clinton for emails - FOREVER. You're not establishing justice, you're establishing a cycle of revenge that will make our democracy look like a third-world power struggle. And here's the kicker - prosecuting Trump makes him a MARTYR. Every indictment just proves to his base that the "deep state" is real and out to get them. You're not weakening Trump, you're giving him exactly the persecution narrative he's always wanted. The man THRIVES on being the victim!Look at the FACTS! Trump held his largest lead over rivals amid his recent legal troubles, with most voters citing those troubles as yet one more reason to show him support [1]. Each indictment Trump faced correlated with a boost in support - from 43% before his first indictment to 50% the next day, then jumping to 55% after his federal charges [2]. You're literally FEEDING the beast! Every prosecutor who goes after Trump proves his "witch hunt" narrative and drives his base into a frenzy. Going after Trump fuels defensiveness from his supporters who have a bunker mentality, circling the wagons - the more the "elites" appear to despise Trump, the more they feel compelled to defend him [3]. This isn't justice - it's political suicide that turns Trump into the comeback kid of American politics!
