Launching conspiracy theories to attack opponents or divert public opinion is a strategy that Trump often applies when the election approaches.

On August 31, US President Donald Trump stated in a television interview that Democratic candidate Joe Biden was being controlled by a group of "hiding in the dark" and that an anarchist group.

On September 1, the White House boss repeatedly posted on Twitter, denying rumors that a series of mild strokes led him to visit Walter Reed Medical Center in November last year.

On September 2, Trump quoted on Twitter an article from a conservative newspaper questioning the impact of postal voting on the upcoming election, at the same time asking: "Voting frauds?

According to observers, Trump has long tended to use conspiracy theories and unproven information to attack his critics or divert public attention from the negative facts about him.

"The conspiracy theory makes his power," said Jennifer Mercieca, associate professor of communications at Texas A&M University, said of President Trump.

"The logic of conspiracy is that it can never be fully proven or completely denied. If you try to refute it, the conspiracy theorists will say 'Truth is out there, only.

"On the one hand, Trump is trying to distract attention from Covid-19 with side conspiracy theories, on the other hand, he is also trying to get the media to focus on him through theories.

Throughout his presidency, Trump maintained conspiracy theories.

The investigation into Trump's dismissal late last year was triggered by a phone call in which he persuaded Ukraine to investigate unfounded reports that Biden promoted the removal of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin in order to secure

Now that Biden has become the Democratic nominee for the presidency, Trump continues to release unauthenticated stories about his opponent, with a denser frequency.

"I don't even want to mention Biden because he can't own anything right now," Trump said in an August 31 evening interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, repeating the statement.

The statement from Trump probably confused Ingraham, who was the host who supported him on many matters.

In the same interview, Trump went on to state without giving evidence that "black thugs" had boarded a plane to Washington to sabotage the Republican National Conference.

In recent weeks, Trump spread unproven stories that Biden was taking drugs to increase his ability to work and conspiracy theories that Kamala Harris, the US Democratic vice presidential candidate, was ineligible to compete.

"I heard news today that she doesn't qualify," Trump said last month at the White House.

Trump also made false or exaggerated claims about mail voting, that "the votes sent by mail are fraud" and that "a lot of fraudulent votes are happening" in America.

In addition, Trump also encouraged members of QAnon, the conspiracy theories, with the idea that bleach and ultraviolet rays could kill nCoV, and posted on Twitter a video of a doctor claiming

The doctor, Stella Immanuel, also says gynecological problems can stem from having sex with witches and ghosts in dreams.

Many allies and former Trump advisors say the President has the ability to "sniff out suspicious information" and only highlight them for the American public and media to dig deeper.

"I learned to stop worrying about that for a long time," said Jason Miller, chief spokesman for the 2016 Trump campaign.

The evidence given by Miller is the major events that Trump predicted as Brexit, or the so-called "political bias" of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and Ms. Clinton's emails found in the laptop.

"I don't think he worries if one or two of the information in his theory is incorrect," Miller continued.

Meanwhile, Biden's campaign sees Trump's conspiracy theories as a way for him to distract public opinion.

"The last thing US voters want is dangerous instability and the terrible poison secreted from this commander-in-chief," said Andrew Bates, a Biden spokesman, referring to President Trump.

While spreading untrue stories about rival Biden and others, Trump also tried to quell rumors about his own health.

On the evening of September 1, the Trump administration took an unusual step when it issued a statement denying he had a stroke, although no major newspapers or news outlets had explored rumors related to his health.

When the White House boss arrived in Kenosha, Wisconsin, examining the damage from the anti-police protests here, the White House issued a statement from Sean Conley, the President's health-monitoring doctor, that Trump was not

"The president is fine and I don't have any worries about his ability to keep busy upcoming schedules," Conley said.

According to Mike DuHaime, prominent Republican strategist, conspiracy theories and Internet gossip will persist regardless of who wins the November election. This is partly due to the polarization.

"They won't disappear after the election," commented DuHaime.
