Trump’s Support for QAnon
As preposterous as it might seem, the Trump administration has helped to prop up this conspiracy theory by endorsing its proponents and amplifying their messages.
The President has retweeted QAnon supporters, perhaps unwittingly, dozens of times. On one such recent occasion, he shared a video critical of the Transportation Security Administration that originated from a Twitter account called Deep State Exposed that is operated by a QAnon follower. More recently, the President retweeted two accounts that promote the conspiracy theory in order to share allegations against Democrats related to election security and voter fraud. The Washington Post’s headline itself blared, “Trump shares Twitter accounts linked to conspiracy theory QAnon.” QAnon supporters are “overjoyed when Trump does retweet, believing it’s evidence he supports their movement,” according to responses reviewed by the Post.
Perhaps more significant is the President’s eagerness to engage personally with individuals who advance the conspiracy theory. For instance, right wing media personality Bill Mitchell “has regularly used his radio show and Twitter account to boost and legitimize ‘Q,’ the central figure of the QAnon conspiracy theory, sometimes hosting major QAnon believers,” according to Alex Kaplan at Media Matters. Mitchell was among the extremists invited to the White House for its recent Social Media Summit. Another QAnon supporter and conspiracy theorist, Michael Lebron, was photographed with Donald Trump in the Oval Office last summer, according to CNN. The news outlet headline also amplified the encounter, “QAnon-believing ‘conspiracy analyst’ meets Trump in the White House.” ... What can be done? One step, of course, would be for those close to the President to try to prevail upon him to lay off the promotion of QAnon. Members of the media should also press the President on where he stands. This is the time for him to disavow if not condemn QAnon.
Same as the Steele Dossier. Fake news, fake FBI guy.
All the Democrats, and a dozen or so retarded anti-Trump RINOS, are praying to Satan that Q is fake.
Look at the rallies.
My martini tip is to leave out the vermouth. Just good, cold gin and a blue cheese filled olive, no juice. Shake the gin with ice about 8-10 times and pour into the glass of your choice. I use a classic martini glass. Best drink ever.
Then they took over local LE and kept us, the intended victims, hostage until midnight.

Ha! Praying to Satan. I like that!
Yum! Shall we soon, we three?
Never thought about gin cold. In Auntie Mame, the adolescent nephew swirls the Vermouth around the glass and tosses it out! The blue cheese olive is so cool. Thanks! Fun!
PS: The classic martini glass are very hard to find. I finally found a pretty set of four in an antique shop, but they are smaller than I was really looking for. I’m glad you like the classic martini glass, as well.
