GQ getting in on the anti-Q action.

No One Knows Why This QAnon Conspiracy Theorist Was in the Oval Office with Trump

Donald Trump is a fan of conspiracy theories. Or at the very least, he falls for them often, as we saw this week when he uncritically repeated a white nationalist talking point he picked up from Tucker Carlson, who incorrectly claimed that South Africa was robbing land from white farmers.

Oddly, Trump has yet to start promoting the (for now) biggest conspiracy that he's at the center of: the supremely stupid QAnon fiasco. QAnon believers have been turning out to Trump campaign rallies lately, and as NPR reports, they believe that Trump is signalling them that he's in the know with their elaborate fantasy about an international pedophile ring, but when questioned by the NPR reporter no one was able to point to anything specific.

That changed Friday. One of the leading lights of the QAnon conspiracy theory, Michael Lionel Lebron, posted a photo of him and his wife beaming next to Trump in the Oval Office, captioned, "There are simply no words to explicate this profound honor."

In the photo he posted with Trump, Lebron assured his followers that the president definitely knows about the QAnon conspiracy, though he's also claimed that they didn't explicitly talk about it. If that sounds confusing, it's nothing compared to the fact that no one can seem to account for how or why Lebron was in the Oval Office in the first place. Per The Daily Beast, which first reported on Lebron's rendezvous with the president.
