Defiant Donald Trump doubles down on conspiracy claims<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Defiant Donald Trump doubles down on conspiracy claims:-<\/strong> Seemingly unfazed by recent controversy surrounding his presidential campaign, a defiant Donald Trump Monday doubled down on claims that he is the target of a conspiracy to keep him out of office.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a speech to about 3,000 people at the KI Convention Center, the Republican nominee stressed his familiar talking points \u2014 retaining jobs, limiting immigration and repealing the Affordable Healthcare Act \u2014 while mixing in a proposal to curtail the influence of government lobbyists.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to create millions of jobs by unleashing American energy,” Trump declared. “Your job will come back under a Trump administration \u2026 your incomes will go way up, your taxes will go way down.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Three weeks before the election, Trump arrived in Green Bay trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton by 7 points in Wisconsin, but leading by 16 in the Green Bay media market. Nationally, an NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll released this weekend shows Trump trailing by 11 points among likely voters, though an ABC News\/Washington Post poll has him trailing by only 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump, though, dismissed those numbers, saying the only poll that matters is the one taking place on election day.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Polls are great, but there\u2019s like an undercurrent that you can\u2019t poll,” he said. “People don’t want to say (to pollsters) they’re voting for Trump, but we\u2019ll take (the votes) any way we can get it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Speakers urged the audience to ignore media reports that say Trump’s support has been flagging since lewd remarks he made about women in 2005 came to light earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Stay strong, find new voters and get them to the polls,” urged Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr., who helped introduce Trump. Clarke, elected as a Democrat, is an avowed Trump-backer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Bay resident Brad Hopp, the father of a young daughter, dismissed the candidate’s remarks about grabbing women as “locker-room talk.” Hopp said he is more interested in supporting a candidate who will secure the country’s borders, appoint Supreme Court justices who will follow the Constitution and favor “hand-ups rather than handouts.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m not looking for perfection,” Hopp said from beneath a “Make America Great Again” cap he had purchased for $20. “I’m looking for someone who’s going to fix this country.”<\/span><\/p>\n

One way Trump said he hopes to change things is to limit the influence of lobbyists in Washington. He vowed to prohibit government officials from lobbying the federal government for at least five years after they leave office, ban senior officials of the executive branch from lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, and prohibit foreign lobbyists from playing a financial role in American elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a speech of roughly 45 minutes, Trump was interrupted a number of times \u2014 often by supporters who chanted his name or a campaign slogan, but also a half-dozen times by protesters.<\/span><\/p>\n

One screaming woman interrupted the speech by pulling handfuls of fake dollar bills marked “Trump Hates Animals, Too” from inside her shirt and casting them toward reporters while seated on a companion’s shoulders. When other protesters emerged, Trump supporters chanted the candidate’s name until the person was removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Bay Police Lt. Brad Strouf said six protesters were ejected from the event; two were escorted out before Trump took the stage. No arrests were necessary, Strouf said.<\/span><\/p>\n
