Trump and QAnon: One degree of separation from what the FBI considers a domestic terrorist threat by writerknowles
As Yahoo News reported Thursday, an internal FBI memo has identified the fringe conspiracy theory group QAnon as a domestic terrorist threat. Just two days earlier, President Trump posted messages on Twitter promoting two accounts linked to the shadowy network.
Trump himself was mentioned in an FBI Intelligence Bulletin obtained by Yahoo News that explains the origins of the QAnon phenomenon. According to the memo, the group’s mythical founder, purportedly a former U.S. government official known as Q, “posts classified information online to reveal a covert effort, led by President Trump, to dismantle a conspiracy involving ‘deep state’ actors and global elites allegedly engaged in an international child sex trafficking ring.
To be clear, Trump has never publicly praised Q or the group of people drawn to the conspiracy theories shared on the site, but at virtually every Trump rally since the 2016 election, attendees have been seen with QAnon signage and branded clothing. What I don't get is those who seem quite rabid about denying Q's legitimacy. Who is Q harming? They love Trump and hate the #DeepState.Last August, Michael Lebron, one of the promoters of QAnon on YouTube, posted a photo of himself in the Oval Office with Trump.
