President Donald Trump reportedly praised those who follow and support the discredited QAnon conspiracy theory as people who “basically believe in good government” during a strategy meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The president has publicly defended and repeatedly avoided disavowing the conspiracy theory that security officials warn is a potential terror threat to the country.

But according to a new Washington Post report published on Thursday, he has also discussed QAnon positively in private with his allies on Capitol Hill — causing apparent alarm among his own staff.

Mr Trump mispronounced the name of the conspiracy during the strategy meeting but still praised its followers, many of whom support the president. As the conspiracy theory claims, Mr Trump was attempting to disrupt a global child sex trafficking ring that comprised some of the most powerful international leaders.

President-elect Joe Biden has condemned QAnon as a “dangerous” and “embarrassing” conspiracy theory, slamming Mr Trump for not disavowing its supporters.

Called Ravn X, the fully autonomous vehicle is 80 feet long, has a wingspan of 60 feet, and stands 18 feet tall. It's not the largest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by size — the wings of Northrop Grumman's MQ-4C Triton stretch nearly 131 feet. But the Ravn X wins on mass, weighing 55,000 pounds when you include the rocket that will drop out of its belly in midair and shoot a satellite into space.

Despite its unusual size and mission, the drone isn't so different from your standard aircraft. It flies like a typical plane, and it and its rocket use Jet A, a very common kerosene-based fuel, says Jay Skylus, the CEO and founder of Aevum.

"We don't need a launch site. All we need is a runway that's one mile long and a hanger," Skylus told Business Insider. (Even small commercial airports have runways that easily meet that mark.)
