Donald Trump smells a far-reaching conspiracy.
With fewer than 100 days until Election Day, the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign has posited a simple and nefarious explanation for recent damaging stories about intra-party turmoil over Trump’s feud with Gold Star parents, his deteriorating standing in national and swing-state polls, a positive U.S. jobs report in July, and his wife’s plagiarism: The “Clinton machine” is orchestrating them all.
Last week, Trump took it a step further by suggesting, without evidence, that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her allies may steal the election.
“What Trump has revealed is that there are parts of the Republican base that are not connected to the mainstream of the Republican Party, and those folks seem susceptible and receptive to conspiracy theories,” said Mark Fenster, a law professor at the University of Florida and author of the 2008 book Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture.
