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."

Facebook on Wednesday banned about 900 pages and groups and 1,500 ads tied to QAnon, part of a sweeping action that also restricted the reach of over 10,000 Instagram pages and almost 2,000 Facebook groups pushing the baseless conspiracy theory that has spawned real-world violence.

If “Nothing But Cr*p” says it’s “baseless”, all of sudden I’m not so sure...

And since BLM, Anita, and Democrat politicians have spawned and supported violence, THEY must be shut down.

-- "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 ..." --

Even better, he is secretly fighting.

Okay. So, this is like asking Bruce Wayne if he is Batman (stolen, not mine)

I listened very carefully to his tone of voice/inflection, and watched his facial expression & body language.

To me, he was playing them, not trying to be argumentative, but more like “Leave it to Beaver” innocent wonderment. I loved it.

"declined on Wednesday to disavow the QAnon movement"

Ah! Mark this date in the calendar.

(8/19/2020) So, I will follow the Presidents lead and NOT disavow the QAnon movement. (They like him, he says, and he appreciates it! They oppose satanists and pedophiles. "Is that a bad thing he asks the reporter??)

Let me start the 'accuracy' bidding of that meme
at 25%...

During the senate 'impeachment' trial,
Pam Bondi came to the podium and outlined
Hunter Bidens' dealing with Ukraine,
sitting on their 'board of directors' with
very little experience;
receiving in his accounts
exorbitant payments regularly throughout
the year far exceeding what our largest U.S.
companies pay.

ALL MSM channels cut away during her presentation, complete with charts, payments, and intercepts. Bidens: Trans-National Criminals.

That is absolutely not what he said. The reporter told him that they believe that he has been tasked with solving the worlds problems. He said “Is that supposed to be a bad thing?”
