Let's simplify this though. Trump isn't a complicated individual. He believes everything he sees on Fox News. The opinion shows are rife with this conspiracy BS. I'm pretty sure that's where he gets his "some say" lines when he brings this stuff up in public.

Let's talk about conspiracy theories like myths of the "undeserving poor," or zero sum economics. Any group that feels threatened creates conspiracy theories. They are insider bonding tools as bulwarks against uncertainty/fear. That sentiment is not right, left, rich, or poor.

FDR lost China through his short-sighted policies during WW2.
