Facing potential loss Trump expands the list of conspirators plotting against him<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Facing potential loss Trump expands the list of conspirators plotting against him:-<\/strong> Donald Trump\u2019s claim that the 2016 presidential election is \u201crigged\u201d against him has become a central part of his closing argument to voters in the final days of the campaign, as the GOP nominee insists that a growing range of \u201ccorrupt\u201d public institutions are to blame for his sharply narrowing path the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n

As he heads into a potential loss on Nov. 8, Trump has expanded the scale and scope of his accusations to include Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, the media, establishment leaders from both parties and unidentified \u201cglobal financial powers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the people who control the political power in our society can rig investigations like [Clinton\u2019s] investigation was rigged, can rig polls, you see the phony polls, and rig the media, they can wield absolute power over your life, your economy and your country and benefit big-time by it,\u201d Trump told a crowd this week in St. Augustine, Fla. \u201cThey control what you hear and what you don\u2019t hear, what is covered, how it\u2019s covered, even if it\u2019s covered at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cpower structure\u201d he describes, according to a review of his speeches this week, includes banking institutions, the judiciary, media conglomerates, voting security experts, Democratic tricksters, scientific polling and also perhaps military leaders. He has also accused Clinton of meeting \u201cwith international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty to enrich these global financial powers, her special-interest friends and her donors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By emphasizing such rhetoric, the GOP nominee \u2014 who has a history of circulating unsubstantiated accusations \u2014 has sown distrust in basic democratic institutions among his supporters. A USA Today\/Suffolk University poll released this week found that more than two-thirds of Trump supporters think the election results could be manipulated and 43 percent say corruption will be to blame if he loses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a rigged system like Donald says, it really is,\u201d Kelly Brooks of Mooresville, N.C., said at a Trump rally in her state this week. \u201cI think it\u2019s intentionally rigged, 100 percent. They don\u2019t like Donald Trump. They don\u2019t like change, they want to do things the way they\u2019ve been doing them for a long time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But many critics are concerned by the extent to which Trump is relying on grand conspiracies to explain away his electoral troubles, including some who hear unnerving echoes of historically anti-Semitic rhetoric in Trump\u2019s references to global elites and nefarious bankers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonathan Greenblatt, director and chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, said Trump\u2019s references to the collusion of global banking elites sound as though they are \u201cstraight out of the Protocols of Zion,\u201d an infamous anti-Semitic tract. Greenblatt said that he does not know whether Trump has used this language intentionally, but sees similar language and conspiracies circulated on anti-Semitic sites and blogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying that the candidate is intentionally doing this, but whether it\u2019s the speechwriters or his supporters, we\u2019re seeing tropes and stereotypes about Jews dominating the global banking system,\u201d Greenblatt said. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible for me to ascertain what\u2019s the intent, but what I\u2019m concerned about is the outcome. . . . We know that prejudice tends to flourish in these moments of uncertainty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s candidacy has attracted enthusiastic support from white nationalists, neo-Nazi groups and vocal conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones, a fringe conservative radio host who has interviewed Trump on his show and who railed this week against \u201cthe Jewish mafia\u201d who are \u201cgoing to scam you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment. The candidate has repeatedly dismissed accusations that his campaign has fostered or encouraged such messages and has said he condemns them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of Trump\u2019s conspiracy talk in recent weeks has focused on the polls, most of which show him trailing Clinton both nationally and in battleground states. Trump tells supporters that they should not believe polls that show him losing to Clinton and insists that he will win nearly every battleground state unless voter fraud is involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they do is they show these phony polls where they look at Democrats, and it\u2019s heavily weighted with Democrats, and then they\u2019ll put on a poll where we\u2019re not winning, and everybody says, \u2018Oh, they\u2019re not winning,\u2019 \u201d Trump said at a small produce farm in Boynton Beach, Fla., on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has long made a punching bag out of the media, and a large portion of his supporters deeply distrust fact checks of his claims. He alone, he has told supporters in the final days of the election, is speaking the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe media, the special interests, Wall Street, the career politicians \u2014 the system is rigged, and I\u2019ve been saying it for a long time,\u201d Trump said at a campaign stop in Johnstown, Pa., last Saturday night. \u201cAnd, believe me, I\u2019m right. But with your help, we are going to beat the system and we are going to unrig the system.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump insisted that a hacked email revealed by WikiLeaks proved that President Obama knew about Clinton\u2019s use of a private email server as secretary of state, despite the president saying he learned about it through media reports. While the emails showed within Clinton\u2019s orbit about the president knowing that she used a nongovernmental email address, they do not prove that Obama knew about the server while Clinton was using it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has also repeatedly sought to undermine the Justice Department and the FBI in claiming that the investigation into Clinton\u2019s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state was unfair because it resulted in no charges against her. \u201cThis is our country, in terms of justice, has never reached a lower point than what we\u2019re witnessing today,\u201d he said in Tampa on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has also claimed, without proof, that donations to the wife of a top FBI official from the political organization of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) shows the federal probe was favorable to Clinton.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe never had a chance of being convicted, even though everybody in this audience, and, boy, do we have a lot of people, everybody here knows that she\u2019s 100 percent guilty. Horrible,\u201d Trump said in Tampa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has intensified his criticism of the media, telling his supporters that they are not just out to get him but are going after them, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The angry rhetoric has sometimes prompted even angrier outbursts from his supporters. \u201cF— CNN!\u201d one man shouted at a rally in Sanford on Tuesday afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they interview the people standing on the line, and they say, \u2018Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,\u2019 they say, \u2018all right, let\u2019s get out of here,\u2019 \u201d the GOP nominee said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Les Adams, a Vietnam War veteran from Tallahassee at the Sanford rally, agreed that the media have unfairly piled on Trump in recent weeks and said skewed sampling by pollsters is the reason Trump isn\u2019t faring better in surveys. Adams also said he fears violence on the horizon if Clinton is elected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt starts with the average American saying, \u2018Hell, no, I\u2019m not going to take this anymore.\u2019 And if Clinton gets elected? I\u2019ll buy more guns. I\u2019ll buy more guns. There\u2019s going to be a revolution,\u201d Adams said. \u201cWe can\u2019t get much more divided without violence happening. . . . I hope it doesn\u2019t [come to that]. I haven\u2019t shot anybody since Vietnam; I don\u2019t want to start now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
