WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declined on Wednesday to disavow the QAnon movement, saying the followers of the extreme conspiracy theory oppose violent protests, and "I've heard these are people who love our country."

When reminded by a reporter for NBC News that the movement's followers believe he is fighting to stop a satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals, he asked: "Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"

Trump said he didn't know much about the QAnon movement's followers, "other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate. But I don't know much about the movement. I have heard that it is gaining in popularity."

I am not a big Q fan. That said, I thought it was hilarious that they brought this up in a press conference.

When the idiot reporter asked that question, I thought: how will he answer that? Low and behold he gave the perfect answer! Republicans in years past have always, always gotten defensive to questions like this. Not Trump.

President Trump has been sent to us and America by God...I am convinced.

He’s so much quicker on his feet than they are. In many cases, they don’t even see what’s happened to them.

It's exactly the sort of answer Mayor Ed Koch would have given to such a stupid question, or was it just an argumentative remark.

How strange.

That was the perfect chance for the President of the United States to debunk the entire thing.

And he didn't.

Interesting, yes?
