The name of the reporter who asked the question:
Shannon Pettypiece. Petty piece.
You can’t make this stuff up.
This week, POTUS has been asked about QAnon by reporters twice, and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany once. Prior to this, the only other time a QAnon question was asked was over 2 years ago, on 08/01/18, when former Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked a question.

Just saw some of it.On my cell phone,no electric here again.:) Everyone is looking up Q.We are just riding along.:)
she’s from NBC digital. NBC’s story:
Trump on QAnon conspiracy theory: “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.”
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.”
While QAnon has been seen as a fringe movement for years, researchers and experts say it has emerged in recent months as a sort of centralized hub for utterly false conspiracy and alternative health communities. The group has been linked to several violent, criminal incidents, including a train hijacking, kidnappings, a police chase and a murder.
When asked whether he supported the idea promoted by QAnon that he is secretly trying to save the world from a satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals, Trump didn’t knock down the idea.
