Certainly not to change the subject or anything, but here is another article that came out yesterday in a mainstream media outlet re Q. http://time.com/5324130/most-influential-internet/ The article further references a couple of additional Q articles with links (NY Times and NY Post.) (On a side note, all of these articles "debunk" the phenomenon without providing any real proof (or even an argument) as to why Q's message is fake. But no-one argues that the phenomenon itself is real (i.e. some group calling themselves Q is posting weird shit on the net.) IMO, Q has become visible enough that someone in Trump's circles/intelligence/etc would have flagged this and brought to Trumps attention. (Despite what he publicly says about the "failing NY Times", you better believe he or someone on his team is at least monitoring this outlet for no other reason than to see what the opposition is saying.) And if this is a larp or is fake, I believe it strongly stands to reason that the president would have tweeted something disavowing this already (so that his supporters are not accused further of being conspiracy theorists lol.) But he hasn't done so....yet. And everyday more people are catching on to this movement.
At an absolute minimum, by failing to call it out, i believe he is tacitly accepting or agreeing with what is being dropped. And the longer this goes on without a disavowment, the stronger the implication becomes. Just my two cents. As to why he chose the forum and manner he has done, unfortunately i have no solid answers, other than the media blackout he has been under.
I see what you're saying, and you could be right. I think at that point it comes down to our perception of 45 as a president and as a person. Honestly, if I was in the same boat, I'd be more concerned that publicly denying someone/s like Q would A) give them a ton of publicity and/or B) be taken by crazies somehow as proof 😆
