PhotoDonald J. Trump on Thursday accused Hillary Clinton of guiding a “global power structure” that has rigged the economy against the working class, language that some suggested echoed anti-Semitic themes. Mr. Trump made the accusation in a speech in West Palm Beach, Fla., in which he also defended himself against several accusations of sexual harassment, published by The New York Times and others. Early in the speech, he said that a global elite had “stripped” the United States of its wealth in order to line the pockets of corporate and political interests. “They also believe that most of Hillary Clinton’s donors are Jewish.”The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the speech, Mr. Trump also accused the “Clinton machine” of wielding control over the news media, as well.
