Q-A-Don: Trump’s Not Even Pretending to Hide His Support for QAnon Any More

Trump fully embraces QAnon on Truth Social — hours after obsessed supporter allegedly killed wife (Raw Storylink): In his one-term presidency, Donald Trump pushed out a number of notorious conspiracy theories tied to voter fraud, climate change and vaccines, but it wasn't until recently that Trump expressed his explicit support for QAnon– which promotes the idea that Trump is the savior of the American people.

Despite the dangers of endorsing a movement the FBI has labeled a domestic terror threat, Trump posted a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, with the QAnon catchphrases "The Storm is Coming" and "WWG1WGA," on his Truth Social account earlier this week. He shared the post after an account called "Patriots in Control" originally published the photo on the platform.

His latest embrace of QAnon comes as no surprise since Trump spent much of his presidency praising followers who were a part of the movement and even endorsed a Republican candidate for congress who is a prominent QAnon supporter. He has previously defended the movement saying it consists of people who "basically believe in good government."

But what makes his recent endorsement especially disturbing is that it came hours after a man obsessed with the QAnon conspiracy theory allegedly killed his wife and seriously injured one of his children.

As the MAGA movement loses members by the month, as revelation after revelation comes out, roughly 35% of the American people still remain firmly behind Trump, and perhaps half of those people are stiff adherents to at least part of the Q-Anon conspiracy theory.

If you believe Trump is involved in politics to expose this scheme, you are not going to be dissuaded by charges that Trump held top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago. Indeed, it might convince these people that Trump is doing his job. So, of course, Trump is going to embrace this group openly. These are the people most likely to lash out violently if Trump is charged,

Trump’s Not Even Pretending to Hide His Support for QAnon Any More (Vicelink): Former President Donald Trump has now shared his most explicit endorsement of the QAnon conspiracy movement to date.

Trump shared a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, overlaid with the QAnon phrases “The Storm is Coming” and “WWG1WGA,” on his Truth Social account on Monday evening. The post was originally shared on Truth Social by an account called “Patriots in Control,” before Trump re-shared it.  

“How much more obvious can it get?” one QAnon follower asked in the QAnon-focused Great Awakening forum. 

In QAnon world, the “storm” is the moment when Trump will reveal his secret plan to dismantle the deep state and the group of elites QAnon followers believe are operating a global child sex trafficking ring. 

The “storm” will also, they think, trigger Trump’s return to power and the public executions of those who’ve acted against him, from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to current President Joe Biden.
