That's not how arguments work. The burden of proof is on YOU, so YOU have to prove that Donald Trump is in fact a Democrat plant.

As has been pointed out already, you're using the logical fallacy of "proving the negative" - as in "prove to me that you haven't been sexually abusing kids". Can't be done. That's why the burden of evidence always falls on the accuser.

That said, if Trump were a Democrat plant, then this would have been a conspiracy that began at least as early as 2008, when Trump was the biggest Birther in the land, and was bragging about how "we just wouldn't believe" what his investigators had found out about Obama.

So in order for your conspiracy theory to be true, Trump (and his co-horts) would have had to have planned all this eight years ago, and kept up the pretense ever since. What's more, Trump would have had to do this despite his lifelong habit of saying whatever the heck he wanted to say, when he wanted to say it, with little consideration as to whether what he's saying is true or false.

There's reasons why conspiracy theories are looked at dimly. Your question is one of them.

Sure, but whatever. Can you prove to me that Donald Trump is in fact a Democrat plant?

I'm asking the questions here. You can start your own thread "Trump is NOT a Democratic plant" if you'd like.

I'm trying to point out the logical fallicy in your statement. Your asking me to prove a negative, which is impossible.
