In October, Trump proclaimed his love for leaks during a rally in Pennsylvania.

“I love Wikileaks,” Trump said, while the crowd chanted, “Lock her up.”

“It’s amazing how nothing is secret today when you talk about the Internet,” he added, before reading the contents of emails stolen from the Clinton campaign and leaked to Wikileaks.

Trump mentioned Wikileaks 164 times in last month of election

Trump described the contents of the emails released by Wikileaks as disqualifying Hillary Clinton from the presidency. Trump used Wikileaks as proof to his claims that she was corrupt and the system was corrupt — both the political system and the media. (The media, Trump insisted, would not cover Wikileaks.)

Trump encouraged his supporters to read Wikileaks. He delighted in each new release. He marveled at the damage Wikileaks was doing to her campaign. Wikileaks, in short, was a core part of Trump’s closing argument against Hillary Clinton.

Trump spoke about the Wikileaks emails at least 164 times from October 10 to election day, saying the word Wikileaks 124 times. That means, on average, Trump discussed Wikileaks more than five times per day.

Trump, February, 2017: Leaks are bad. Bad. Leaks. Dishonest media. Leaks about me are very, very bad. Sad. Very, very sad. Did I mention I won the electoral college? YUGE numbers. Must go rally, a yuge rally...tremendous... and allow people to show me their love for me. Golden leaks are OK, though. Maybe someone, a 10, maybe even a 9, could shower me with golden leaks.
