Why are we quicker to believe those or lend any credence to them?

I don't know that the concept of Trump plotting an exit plan of starting his own media network is a conspiracy theory so much as speculation. Even Trump must see the writing on the wall, and of course he would make some kind of plan for the future. He didn't manage his wealth without looking to make the best out of bad situations. The rest of them are clearly ridiculous notions, and I don't think anyone in this thread has given any credence to those ideas.
As far as the conspiracy theory that elections are being rigged? If Trump is concerned about rigged elections he should talk to the GOP about their gerrymandered districts, that's as close to rigging as you get in US elections.
He's claiming if he loses Pennsylvania, it's rigged. Pennsylvania hasn't gone Republican in a presidential race in nearly 30 years, and Hillary is already up considerably in polls here. If he loses Pennsylvania--it's not really even that much of a surprise, much less a conspiracy.
