Trump reposted the video on Thursday night after seeing a QNut on his platform share it earlier. What else was in that video he tacitly endorsed by sharing it?

Trump’s promotion of the meme video marks the latest step in his recent campaign promoting QAnon. The images feature QAnon slogans like “Where we go one, we go all,” and reference “The Storm” — the moment QAnon believers think Trump will imprison his enemies and usher in a sort of fascist utopia. Other pictures included an edited image of Trump holding a playing card with “Q” on it, and another featuring Trump promising to take on the “Satanists” and “pedos.” (...) The new video posted by Trump also included references to punishing “acts of treason” illustrated with the skull logo of vigilante superhero “The Punisher” — a favorite for QAnon believers — and a picture of a book on military criminal law, a reference to the QAnon idea that top Democrats and prominent celebrities will face military tribunals. One picture shows an image of Trump protecting a wailing child, an apparent reference to the QAnon concept that Democrats sexually torture children and drink their blood. “Pain is coming!” the text attached to the picture reads. “You should’ve stayed away from the children.” The picture includes the hashtag “Save Our Children,” a reference to a QAnon offshoot movement from 2020.

This comes on the heels of Trump sharing an image of himself wearing a “Q” pin along with the caption, “The Storm is Coming”—a reference to the moment QNuts believe Trump will either imprison those sick and evil pedophiles or execute them.

Needless to say, other QNuts on Truth Social were overjoyed. One claimed that this was hard evidence that “the Storm is coming.” Another claimed that the video was a golden opportunity to red pill Trump supporters who don’t “trust the plan” just yet.

Apparently a significant number of Trump’s own aides don’t “trust the plan,” based on what happened at Trump’s Friday night rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. Lisa Desjardins of PBS Newshour reported that a number of people raised their fingers in the air—only to yank them back down on orders from security.

x The man in this photo held up 1 finger and told me he meant it as a WWG1WGA sign - and then the security guard in the next photo told him to take it down.



He was furious “thats my Constitutional right!” the man in the crowd told me after I saw that interaction happen. pic.twitter.com/nAb6norcjT — Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) September 24, 2022

x Also, the company says it provides security.



I’m not sure the word matters though - they were official staff at the event and clearly had been directed to watch for this kind of gesture and to shut it down.



And they were dressed far more like security than, say, ushers. — Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) September 24, 2022

On the face of it, this is yet another case where Trump’s own aides can’t control him. But it’s even more frightening than that. The de facto leader of the Republican Party is openly embracing a dangerous conspiracy theory that has led to numerous acts of violence, and was one of the contributing causes of a deadly insurrection.
