Yeah I'm thinking something like that too, I also think the reason Hillary was so sure she'd win is because she could see the future through looking glass of a timeline she was president.
Q also probably had to wait until 2016 because Q wasn't sure they could stop ww3/deadly virus until recently. Trump can't do what he's doing if they have the ability to cause that big of a distraction, and he couldn't do what he's doing while the bloodline families still had faith and therefore supported the neocons to start ww3.
