Taken together, the books reveal how Trump aims to attack Clinton in the general election. First, he plans to neutralize her appeal to women by going after Bill’s sex life. “You know what a showman he is,” Stone says. “You can imagine him at a rally saying, Juanita Broaddrick” — who in the late ’90s accused Bill of raping her two decades earlier — “you’re in the audience, stand up!”

The more surprising tactic is Trump’s plan to go after blue-collar Democrats and Bernie supporters by portraying Hillary as greedy and corrupt. The thinking is that voters on both the right and the left will be roused by Schweizer’s critique that the Clintons have used their public service to enrich themselves. “Donating to a charity connected to a politician is bribery every bit as much as if you put money in their pocket,” Schweizer says. “I think this is a key vulnerability for her.”

In the weeks ahead, Trump will be promoting the film adaptation of Clinton Cash, produced and directed by Brietbart executive chairman Stephen Bannon. Set to an ominous score, with close-ups of the Clintons shaking hands with foreign dictators and bloodstained dollar bills floating on the screen, the movie is anything but subtle (think of it as a 60-minute attack ad in the style of a Michael Bay blockbuster). The movie’s rollout has been planned to target disaffected Democrats. MSNBC producers received an advance screening, and Bannon says he plans to show the film to environmental and labor groups. “We feel the people who need to see this the most are progressives and liberals,” he said Thursday night at a screening in midtown. “There are multiple different plans to carpet bomb this.”
