Trump Campaign Ad Features QAnon Signs

Source: Daily Beast

Two signs promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory are visible in a video from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, marking the latest link between the president and followers of the fringe movement that the FBI recently described as a potential source of domestic terror.

The signs, which were first noticed by Vox reporter Aaron Rupar, appear in a close-up shot in a “Women for Trump” video posted by Trump’s campaign late in July. Around halfway into the video, the first sign appears, with Trump’s “Keep America Great” slogan and a “Q” taped onto it. Another shows “Q”’s replacing the O’s on a “Women for Trump” sign.

QAnon believers follow ludicrous clues posted online by an anonymous figure named “Q,” who they claim offers proof that Trump is engaged in a secret war against an evil cabal of high-ranking pedophiles and cannibals. QAnon supporters claim to be nonviolent, even though a core part of the conspiracy theory is based around the idea of Trump sending top Democrats to face military tribunals and executions in Guantanamo Bay. QAnon believers have been charged in two murders, and an FBI document published last week described QAnon and other conspiracy theories as a possible source of domestic terrorism.

That there is this elite group of famous powerful elites and politicians are involved in some secret pedophile ring. Or that there is/was a group of people in the government, Hollywood and the media trying to throw/get trump thrown out of office.
One day these people will see how ludicrous this all is and join reality.

Almost day one. I take the path of knowing my enemy well.
I still get all the drops when they happen and the silly parts of the theory, come from the YouTube and 8chan commentary. The actual Q posts never said a word about JFK Jr. Tbh Later on Q gets directly asked If JFK Jr is still alive and said no.
The drops are cryptic but pretty easy to follow. I don't and haven't been on 4chan or 8chan with it as the drops come through an app that has now been deleted.

Most conspiracy theories stay alive by being right about a couple things then building off of that with the crazy crap.
Epstein gave this theory a boost. While the pizza place was replaced by an island it is pretty spot on in that rich people, famous people, and politicians are involved in a pedo ring.
