Trump Shares Twitter Accounts Linked to QAnon

“President Trump on Tuesday promoted two Twitter accounts that have shown support for the online conspiracy theory known as QAnon, amplifying the fringe accounts to his millions of followers,” the Washington Post reports.

The backstory: “QAnon centers on the idea that an anonymous government official, or ‘Q,’ has been secretly sharing messages and symbols that serve as evidence of a hidden plot to overthrow Trump. Those who believe in QAnon parse tweets, photos and other online content for hidden meanings, or ‘crumbs’ — and signs that Trump knows and supports their cause.”
