Trump and his supporters like conspiracy theories. This one is really bizarre and I can’t understand why anyone would believe it.

What is QAnon? Well, do you remember Pizzagate? It's a little like that: a web of baseless conspiracy theories. https://t.co/vbTGVDJudb

Even if someone is killed, I have no faith whatsoever that President Trump would do a thing to change the tenor of his rallies. Nor will he ever try to quiet his fellow conspiracists. https://t.co/zbtLUqL8yf

QAnon is not just a harmless weird thing. Multiple QAnon believers have been in stand-offs with police. Trump meeting this guy gives the whole group credibility, and further unmoors a segment of voters from reality.
