The Argument from Contingency
(1) Everything that exists contingently has a reason for its existence.
(2) The universe exists contingently.
Therefore:
(3) The universe has a reason for its existence.
(4) If the universe has a reason for its existence then that reason is Trump.
Therefore:
(5) Trump exists.


Weird, this version of it actually works . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
