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

Posted on 07/12/2020 10:22:38 AM PDT by MNDude

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.

You are correct. There is little intelligence involved.

Because that has never been said before. Not in any musketeer book/movie or any movie with a group of sad sack underdogs taking on a superior force?

Why don’t you read what his lawyer said, and look at the picture of Kennedy’s yacht.

She correctly pointed out it had nothing to do with your qult.

You’re right. There’s survivors of David Koresh who believed in him even after he died, same with Jim Jones.

No matter what fact illuminates, they just fall back with new excuses.

Not sure how they will handle Jeff Sessions going down in flames on Tuesday at the hands of President Trump’s strong opposition.

That’s some wacky 10D chess of a rationalization they’ll be doing.

You’re right. But those grifters at the Paytriot’s Shitbox will do anything to keep Boomers buying $40 flashlights.

It been a money making scheme for a few for a long time. But remember what PT Barnum said about a sucker being born every minute.

Not sure ‘where we go one we go all’ was said after taking the oath.

Except that Q posted that very thing days before Flynn posted his video.

Q even said Take the oath’

And Flynn did.

Your issue is with a decorated General who is being railroaded by the same cast of characters railroading the President.

Trump and Flynn are conspiracy nuts.

I mean Trump believed in the conspiracy about Obama birth certificate.
Trump believed in the conspiracy of the evil deep state was spying on him and wiretapping his phones and tower.
Maybe the kookiest conspiracy theory Trump believes is Hillary has taken a village or two or more from places like Haiti.
You know like human smuggling, trafficking.

Trump and Flynn. Kooky conspiracy theorists.
Or Biden. Just Kooky.

Choose wisely

I saw the video with Gen. Flynn administering the oath to fellow patriots.

When he ended the ceremony with the words “where we go one, we go all” ... well, at that moment I had to think there might be more to this Q business than I previously expected.

Of course, some people on this forum think it’s all a psyop by the Chicoms or the RAT party or whomever.

But I find it hard to believe that Trump is simply flailing away mindlessly at his numerous enemies, while facing inevitable defeat in November.

Let’s turn the clock back a couple years. How many FReepers insisted that the wall was never going to be built?

Well, we just marked the completion of the 200th mile.

Trump keeps his word. Trump thinks strategically. Trump won’t accept defeat.

I’m not saying I believe everything Q puts out, but I don’t dismiss it out of hand either.

Always remember, Trump has access to information we ordinary patriots following the news in our homes can’t even imagine.

I suspect that when the final tally is taken, a lot of heroes will prove to be heels and perhaps some heels will turn out to be heroes.

This is no time to give in to defeatism.

No, YOU are Chinese intelligence.

Here to convince us that OUR PRESIDENT is in your employ.

See how that works?

If the President is retweeting QAnon interested people, right and left...

Perhaps YOU and Politico should, I don’t know, perhaps ASK THE PRESIDENT, about it?

Q has worked pretty hard at teaching the interested peoples all about disinformation.

Just like ALL experienced QAnons, you do well NOT to believe everything Q states. It’s part of the learning.

Some people never get that, or at least don’t want others to get it.

Trump blinked an average of 17 times per minute during the Rushmore speech.

Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet.

Not a coincidence! It was a message.
