Former President Donald Trump isn’t even trying to hide his QAnon affiliations anymore. In fact, he’s stepping up his relationship with the fringe conspiracist group and going full Q by allowing the organization to have its “ ReAwaken America ” tour at one of his resorts.
The Daily Beast reports that in mid-May, QAnon will hold one of its weekend-long conferences at the Trump Doral hotel in Miami. Most of the conferences are sold out according to a website where you can buy tickets , but it appears the Miami dates are still available.
The ReAwaken America is hosted by Clay Clark, a right-wing, Oklahoma-based entrepreneur and serious anti-vaxxer. The conference bills itself as part conservative Christian revival, part political rally, and of course, a big part QAnon expo—complete with merch.
NPR reports that it usually features prominent names in the MAGA world—MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, former Trump national security adviser Michael Stone, Roger Stone, Trump loyalist Kash Patel, often Eric Trump, and always a long list of unnamed conspiracist speakers.
In October, Associated Press covered one of the ReAwaken conferences where Flynn spoke, warning the crowd of about 3,000 that they were in a “spiritual war” and a “political war.”
“I want you to look around and you’ll see a group of people that love this country dearly,” Clark said. “At this Reawaken America Tour, Jesus is King (and) President Donald J. Trump is our president.”
Trump has long supported QAnon and endorsed many candidates who are openly Q in their beliefs, but since his loss in 2020, things have gotten even more odd with the former president.
Using Truth Social, Trump has verified 47 QAnon accounts, all with over 10,000 followers, NewsGuard reports . Not to mention a 60-post QAnon meme stream in August—all in one day.
In December, Trump famously posed for a photo with prominent QAnon promoter Liz Crokin at Mar-a-Lago.
“There always seems to be a correlation between the amount of times Trump is amplifying QAnon accounts and periods where I’d say he’s under stress,” Media Matters senior researcher Alex Kaplan told The Daily Beast . “QAnon accounts are usually ones that are giving him praise and reassurances, which I’m sure he likes.”
As Daily Kos’ David Neiwert writes, Trump has “perfected this tango in the case of the QAnon movement , pretending at first to know nothing about them—despite having winked and nudged in their direction for years—but telling reporters : “I heard that these are people that love our country.”

At least they acknowledge Trump's head is empty
I love how they don’t realize this is just another cash grab for him. All these morons have ever been is just an ATM for trump and his legal team.
Simply put, a percentage of Americans do not deserve the privilege of being an American. Unfortunately, there isn't anywhere they could go except maybe Florida.
The roots, the seeds, the birth of QAnon was disgorged by Russia's FSB. The best way to weaken your enemy is to make your enemy hate itself.
It has been disheartening how the MAGA bought and spread the foreign psyops propaganda crafted to divide and weaken the US!

ST showed up in 4.2. It always wants proof. Why won't 'it' prove that #4 is false?
Anyone making a claim has the burden to prove it.
Plus, people who have a history of being dishonest and promoting batshit conspiracy theories have to provide proof if they want anyone to take them seriously.
Really? Prove it.
