Trump meets with promoter of 'QAnon' conspiracy theory in Oval Office
The Hill ^ | 08/24/18 | Justin Wise

President Trump met with one of the leading promoters of the "QAnon" conspiracy theory in the Oval Office on Thursday.

The Daily Beast first reported on Friday that YouTube conspiracy theorist Lionel Lebron was at the White House for an event and that during his visit he posed for photos with Trump in the Oval Office.

"There simply are no words to explicate this profound honor," Lebron wrote on Instagram while sharing a photo of him and Trump.

Lebron is a leading promoter of a fringe far-right conspiracy theory that, among other things, claims some Democratic lawmakers are part of a globalist pedophile cult.

One “QAnon” theory that has been popularized by the president is the claim that the “criminal deep state” is operating behind the scenes of the government.

The theories have been shared by notable figures on the right, including actress Roseanne Barr and InfoWars founder Alex Jones.

Lebron said he received a “special guided tour of the White House” before getting the opportunity to take pictures with Trump, according to The Daily Beast.

The news outlet noted that Lebron said in a video posted on YouTube that he did not speak with the president about the conspiracy theory.

“I think we all know he knows about it,” Lebron said in the video.

The White House and Lebron didn't respond to request for comment for the Beast's report.

Rest assured the “event” was multiple parties and POTUS has no idea who this guy is.

“President Trump met with one of the leading promoters of the “QAnon” conspiracy theory in the Oval Office on Thursday.”

Ludicrous.

He didn’t meet with the guy and probably didn’t even know who he was.

He posed for a pic with him as he does all guests who ask.

There was no “meeting”.

Are you having trouble constructing complete sentences?

I’m sure the local community college has a night course that can help you with that.

No, you don’t understand the basics.

The big question all along has been whether Q is part of Trump’s inner circle. Not whether the deep state exists.

The fact that he met with Trump wins credibility to his entire so-called conspiracy.

Whatever. I know a lot about Q, And there is no question that Trump is in on it. There is far too much proof to believe otherwise. The purpose of Q is another question. There is the claimed narrative. And then their are other possibility’s which would not be so nice.

Actually Trump met with a internationally syndicated radio, television and YouTube legal and media analyst. Which is what he does.

YouTube conspiracy theorist Lionel Lebron

He is a nut case and I am stupid. They win. We are all ignorant, lazy, ill-informed lunatics. It's wonderful. It means I don't need to take responsibility for myself or rationalize what I do. I am insane. They said so. So I am free to vote for trump being too stupid to do anything else and I bear no consequences for my actions. I am incompetent.

This is win-win. They are right about me and I get to vote for Trump anyway. And they should stop trying to persuade me otherwise. After all they are arguing with a lunatic, which makes them insane, and argument I might make if I were smart enough to make it, which I am not.

He must be a loon, if he uses a fake name.
