TRUMP IS THE VICTIM HERE!


Trump has indulged in conspiracy theories about President
Barack Obama’s birthplace, the FBI’s “rigged” probe of Hillary
Clinton, the Federal Reserve’s “political” agenda and whether
Ted Cruz’s father was linked to the assassination of John F.
Kennedy.

With his presidential campaign in full-blown crisis on
Thursday, Trump was at it again, putting a new spin on a
familiar tactic.

This time, there was a bigger, badder villain — “a global power
structure” of corporate interests, the media and Clinton
engaging in subterfuge.

This time, it was about him.

rally on Oct. 13, 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“They knew they would throw every lie they could at me and my
family and my loved ones,” said Trump at a rally in West Palm
Beach, Florida. “They knew they would stop at nothing to try to
stop me. But I never knew, as bad as it would be, I never knew
it would be this vile, that it would be this bad, that it would
be this vicious.”

In the face of mounting accusations from women that he groped
and kissed them without their consent, dozens of media outlets
carefully vetting their claims and a Clinton campaign eager to
exploit worries about his behaviour toward women, Trump decided
to lump them together.

“For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and
for the global special interests, they partner with these
people that don’t have your good in mind. Our campaign
represents a true existential threat like they haven’t seen
before,” Trump said.

presidential nominee, waves to attendees during a campaign
event in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016.
Trump rebuffed political aides' requests to research his past,
people familiar with the matter said, a decision that
contributed to his campaign being caught unprepared for the
past week's barrage of claims he mistreated women.
“He is not just talking about Obama’s birth certificate. He is
talking about himself,” said Mark Fenster, a University of
Florida law professor and author of a 2008 book about
conspiracy theories and American culture. “This now becomes a
much more personal enterprise about him.”

A day earlier, Trump appeared to allege, without evidence, that
House Speaker Paul Ryan (Wisconsin) and other GOP elected
officials who distanced themselves from him were involved in a
mass scheme to undermine him.

“There’s a whole deal going on — we’re going to figure it out.
I always figure things out. But there’s a whole sinister deal
going on,” he said.

While spreading information ranging from the questionable to
the outright inaccurate with no evidence — a distinctive
feature of his campaign — Trump often qualifies his ideas by
attributing them to unnamed “people” he claims are speaking
about them.

Some of the ideas he has embraced have been denounced by
critics who charged that they were racially or culturally
derogatory.

“.@TeamTrump should avoid rhetoric&tropes that historically
have been used ag. Jews & still spur #antisemitism. Lets keep
hate out of cmpgn,” Anti-Defamation League chief executive
Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted Thursday. He was responding to
Trump’s comment that Clinton “meets in secret with
international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty
in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special-
interest friends and her donors.”

For years, Trump was at the vanguard of the “birther” movement
doubting that Obama was born in the United States despite clear
evidence that he was. Only last month did Trump officially put
his doubts to rest. In doing so, he falsely blamed Clinton for
starting the rumors about Obama.

Last year, Trump said he saw “thousands” of Muslims celebrating
in New Jersey as the World Trade Center buildings fell during
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

“There were people that were cheering on the other side of New
Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were
cheering as the World Trade Center came down,” Trump said on
ABC News in November. “I know it might be not politically
correct for you to talk about it, but there were people
cheering as that building came down.”

Fact checkers found no evidence to support his claim.

At the end of the Republican primary, Trump said Cruz’s father,
Rafael Cruz, was associated with Lee Harvey Oswald around the
time he shot Kennedy.

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald being,
you know, shot,” Trump told Fox News in May. “I mean, the whole
thing is ridiculous. What is this? Right? Prior to his being
shot. And nobody even brings it up.”

Trump appeared to be talking about a photograph published by
the National Enquirer that showed Oswald and another man
distributing pro-Castro leaflets in New Orleans in 1963. Cruz’s
campaign denied that it was his father. No proof emerged
supporting Trump’s claim.

Federal agencies have not been spared in Trump’s
unsubstantiated attacks. The Fed, which operates separately
from the executive branch, was “being totally controlled
politically,” he said during remarks on the economy in New York
last month.

“The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far
less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment,” Trump tweeted
in July, in response to the FBI recommending no charges against
Clinton over her use of a private email server.

Lately, his rhetoric has become more personal – more about his
movement, his supporters and himself.

“We’re going to watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas
and watch and study, make sure other people don’t come in and
vote five times,” Trump said at a campaign stop in Altoona,
Pa., in August, voicing concerns about voter fraud that he has
repeated with urgency in recent weeks.

Studies have shown that documented instances of voter fraud are
very rare and that efforts to tighten voter ID laws affect
African Americans and younger voters more heavily than others.

Trump said Thursday that the world had reached “a moment of
reckoning.” He told his backers that his campaign is “not about
me; it’s about all of you, and it’s about our country.” He
portrayed the powers he says have banded together to rally
against him and his advocates as ruthless and cunning.

“They will attack you; they will slander you; they will seek to
destroy your career and your family; they will seek to destroy
everything about you, including your reputation,” Trump said.
“They will lie, lie, lie, and then again they will do worse
than that; they will do whatever is necessary.”
