Hahaha I knew it. Been preparing epic meme on this but didn't finish in time.
Future proves Past
The first "How about a nice game of chess" quote, which appeared to be in response to Assange, was actually a reference to War Games and the fake missile attack. The previous line of the movie was "The only winning move is not to play", i.e. Trump didn't take the bait.
They had been preparing the narrative for months about Trump being mentally incompetent and a menace to the entire world, we need to remove him before he presses the big red button, etc. Then they tried to prove it. All to remove Trump and create a big distraction before SHTF in Washington.
This will increase Q's prophetic status with the normies. Combine with the memo coming out + Russia fake news and the MSM just slit its own throat! Checkmate!
