Where did he encourage them? I kind of interpreted the opposite.
He played footsy with Alex Jones and Infowars. One of the Trump sons used to retweet Infowars. The Q people are often their supporters too.
Trump seemed to be surrounded by weird Q sounding inner circle at the end. He openly described them as good people who love their government.
Probably his biggest mistake.
He accomplished so much - and the cultists took over in the end.
