Trump isn't secretly winking at QAnon. He's retweeting its followers.
Politico ^

On July Fourth, before President Donald Trump spoke to the nation from the White House lawn, he spoke indirectly to another community on Twitter: QAnon.

That afternoon, he retweeted 14 tweets from accounts supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory, a sprawling and ever-mutating belief that a mysterious government official who goes by “Q” is leaving online clues about a messianic Trump’s secret plan to dismantle a cadre of Washington elites engaged in everything from pedophilia to child sex trafficking

It wasn’t the first time Trump has nodded — accidentally or not — to QAnon followers on Twitter. But Trump's QAnon-baiting has gone into overdrive in recent months. According to a Media Matters analysis, ever since the pandemic began, Trump has retweeted at least 90 posts from 49 pro-QAnon accounts, often multiple times in the same day.

Those around Trump have followed suit. Eric Trump, the president’s son, recently posted a giant “Q” on Instagram as well as the hashtag version of the community’s slogan: “Where we go one, we go all.” White House deputy communications director Dan Scavino sparked glee on Facebook when he posted a photo with Q symbology in it back in March. Over on Parler, the niche Twitter alternative and MAGA hub, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, one of Trump’s most strident congressional defenders, directed people to The Dirty Truth, a video producer who has promoted QAnon-related conspiracies in the past.

And over that July Fourth weekend, Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, recorded a video of himself taking the QAnon loyalty pledge, a slightly altered version of the U.S. oath of office.

“There’s only one?”

You name it, they have it.

If not in stock, they’ll make a dozen on a special order.

Shipping is free.

Q is Chinese Intelligence.

Sounds like Resistance chicklette Tina Nguyen of Pollutico has soiled her adult diaper over QAnon.

She might want to check that before she gets a rash...

... about a messianic Trump’s secret plan to dismantle a cadre of Washington elites engaged in everything from pedophilia to child sex trafficking...

Like Epstein, Maxwell, predominate politicians (tapes ave been found AND seen)... are those some of the Washington sex traffickers and pedophiles? Or the people who flew on the Lolita Express - like Bill Clinton and friends? It's all gonna come out...

Politico cat chases the light. They have not a clue why Trump Tweets. But it keeps the dimwitted occupied.

The article complains that Parscale, Scavino, Flynn, Eric Trump, Sydney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Devin Nunes, and POTUS himself have been promoting Q. Some of us have noticed they’ve been doing this a long time.

Instead of writing thousands of articles attacking the conspiracy (yes, there are literally thousands of anti Q articles by the MSM), why don’t they just ask the President the Question?

It would bring an end to it immediately if POTUS disavows it.

Yeah and President Trump just gave the ultimate “Trust Sessions” bat signal:

“VOTE TOMMY TUBERVILLE.”

Yawn. It’s an election. You need everyone voting for you even demented Qult members. LOL

Would someone clue me in concerning exactly what QAnon is and what crimes it has been found guilty of perpetrating?

Correct.

Bias confirmation makes the q people believe that everything’s evidence of their beliefs.

So Flynn saying “where we go one we go all” is just confirmation bias?

Perhaps it is those that do not see the obvious confirmations that have confirmation bias.
