White House conspiracism as governing style

Presidential conspiracy rhetoric is not occasional demagoguery but an identifiable leadership style: presidents construct comprehensive enemy narratives to mobilize support and delegitimize opponents. Tracking this style across administrations reveals durable techniques (name‑calling, existential framing, populist protection claims) and shows how it reshapes norms of office and public trust. — If treated as a distinct governing style, conspiracism in the White House explains continuity in polarizing rhetoric and suggests new institutional responses about norms, accountability, and media coverage.
