Trump 2020 is the QAnon Campaign
As Trump's presidency implodes thanks in no small part to his catastrophic management of the coronavirus pandemic, he has been sinking ever further into the QAnon fever swamp. As Nguyen reports, on July 4 he sent 14 retweets of QAnon-friendly accounts and since the pandemic began, he's retweeted at least 90 posts from such accounts.

The 45th president has long peddled conspiracy theories   so outlandish   that there have been widespread calls for him to be   banned from social media .

Among these tinfoil hat conspiracies is QAnon — which as   Politico's Tina Nguyen   described it is "a sprawling and ever-mutating belief that a mysterious government official who goes by 'Q' is leaving online clues about a messianic Trump's secret plan to dismantle a cadre of Washington elites engaged in everything from pedophilia to child sex trafficking."

Did you get all that? 

It takes elements of "deep state" paranoia, mixes in a little bit of "Pizzagate" madness, and includes a "hero" figure fighting for "the people." It also makes absolutely no sense.

As Trump's presidency implodes thanks in no small part to his catastrophic management of the coronavirus pandemic, he has been sinking ever further into the QAnon fever swamp. As Nguyen reports, on July 4 he sent 14 retweets of QAnon-friendly accounts and since the pandemic began, he's retweeted at least 90 posts from such accounts. 

Also sharing QAnon-associated content have been Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, his campaign manager Brad Parscale, and his deputy communications director   Dan Scavino . His former national security adviser Michael Flynn even posted a video where he takes   a loyalty oath sprinkled with Q-related phrases . 

It's not as if Trump has ever needed a reason to lean into unhinged conspiracy-mongering. But in the case of Q, in what could be the final months of his presidency, he's just giving one of his most loyal bases what they want: an enemy to focus their ire on while the economy continues to freefall and tens of thousands of new COVID infections occur on a daily basis.   — AF

We have a "president" that implicates himself in conspiracy theories that portray him as a James Bond like superhero who is in the process of uncovering a cabal of new world order pedophile deep staters, and the mainstream media barely bats an eye , or covers it. 

That is how far gone our society is.

It's the same problem for democrats.
It's not as Stacy Abrams claims, that not enough minorities are voting, It's that too many whites are!

Nah, but by your own admission and actions we do have a group on the left that will stop at nothing to bring him down.

No conspiracy about that at all .... anyone who doesn't see that must have their head shoved too deeply up their six to see it.

And when Obama was POTUS, we had a group on the right that would stop at nothing to bring him down, including secret meetings.  Welcome to American politics.

The attacks that have been against Trump the last 31/2 years are unprecedented.    Obama wasn't hammered nearly as hard.   Not even close.  

Anyone who can't see that is either very biased or just plain deaf, blind or stupid.

The media, mainstream and otherwise, has gone far far far too easy on Donald Trump for the past 5 years. They went far too easy on him when he was doing that birther bullshit too.

About the response one would expect considering the delusional state of some.

The mainstream media is no longer "main."   It's now the "lamestream" media.

A fucking joke.   Journalistic integrity right out the shitter for most of them .....

Donald Trump openly promoted a ridiculous conspiracy theory concerning President Barack Obama's past.  

That should have been the end of Trump's political career. The media let him off the hook.

Simply put, "the book says " is functionally the same as hearsay, supposition, conjecture, innuendo and rumor to use just several synonyms and is about as meaningful as the 2016 polls claiming a Clinton landslide.

Are we on trial, are we in court?  Deal with it, it happened.

Lol, what he said pales in comparison to the all out daily offensive pushed by the resist movement, the liberal house and their mass media propaganda arm.    

Never in the history of the USA has there been  such an intense, concentrated and  concerted effort to undermine a lawfully elected POTUS.     The efforts to undermine the Obama administration were minuscule by comparison.

Obama had a free pass from that entire group for his entire eight years.

And who really gives a shit if one political party met and said they wanted to make an opposition incumbent President a one termer?

As I stated, and you ignored, welcome to American politics.  Every party actively works to replace the other party that is in charge.  It is the way of the world except in locations where there are no real political parties (i.e China, Russia, etc.).

that is why it's hard to understand why people are still botching about the GOP trying to make Obama a one termer

That is not the problem, that is common politics.  However doing so to the detriment of the entire country, is beyond standard politics.  Republicans blocked their own bills because they didn't want Obama to be able to take any credit for helping the country.

Remember?

Mitch McConnell's amazing filibuster of his own bill

Or.

On the 4th of July  Trump retweeted 14 times from  twitter accounts that are associated with Q Anon, which is an insane conspiracy theory that imagines Trump as a "superhero" who destroys the deep state and rescues kids from pedophiles.  My question to you is "what the fuck is wrong with the president of the United States?" 

Dont give me that he is being unfairly attacked.   

Just answer my question.

The answer is: nothing as fucking bad as you fucking push here every day.   And that my friend is the truth .... fuckin-do-a!

I just did and i will continue to tell that truth.   No matter how hard the propaganda ministers on the left fight it.

So you think the president of the United States should be promoting insane conspiracy theories.  How did you come to that conclusion?

A simple attempt at disinformation to hide the real swamp.

Pay no attention to the real swamp creatures behind the curtain but check this windmill out ..... now get to tilting .....
