You do not believe in conspiracy theories but is this not in itself a conspiracy? Definition of a conspiracy :
1. a secret plan or agreement to carry out an illegal or harmful act, esp with political motivation; plot
2. the act of making such plans in secret
Semantics. You are technically correct in the sense of "conspiracy to commit fraud" in law terms. My usage is more of the pop culture useĀ perhaps "grand conspiracy" would be a better term.
Quote:The term "conspiracy theory" is used to indicate a narrative genre that includes a broad selection of (not necessarily related) arguments for the existence of grand conspiracies.[1] The term is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at "stealing" power, money, or freedom, from "the people".[citation needed] Conspiracy theories are based on the notion that complex plots are put into motion by powerful hidden forces.[2] Less illustrious uses refer to folklore and urban legend and a variety of explanatory narratives which are constructed with methodological flaws or biases.[3] Originally a neutral term, since the mid-1960s it has acquired a somewhat derogatory meaning, implying a paranoid tendency to see the influence of some malign covert agency in events.[4] The term is sometimes used to automatically dismiss claims that are deemed ridiculous, misconceived, paranoid, unfounded, outlandish or irrational.[5][page needed] A proven conspiracy theory, such as the notion that United States President Richard Nixon and his aides were behind the Watergate break-in and cover-up, is usually referred to as something else, such as investigative journalism or historical analysis.[6][7]- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory
My MAIN point is this: There is plenty of material with which to criticize, even potentially impeach, this president without resorting to irrational theories which do nothing more than undermine one's credibility, thus damaging any credible argument/point they may have.
