    Trump tacitly endorses baseless QAnon conspiracy theory linked to violence
    President says followers of movement, which claims Trump is fighting ‘deep state’ paedophiles, ‘love our country’

    Followers of the QAnon movement believe without evidence that Trump is fighting a Satanic “deep state” of global elites involved in paedophilia, human trafficking and the harvesting of a supposedly life-extending chemical from the blood of abused children.

    Yet asked about the theory at Wednesday’s White House press briefing, the US president failed to condemn it. “I don’t know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate,” he said. “I have heard that it is gaining in popularity.”

    Anyone who watched the video knows that was a complete troll of the media. Trump obviously doesn't know anything about the movement - and he says as much.
