At a press conference today Trump defended Qanon, saying that "These are people who don't like seeing what is going on in Portland." When a reporter asked him "Qanon believes you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals. So does that sound like something you are behind?" Trump's reply: "I haven't heard that, but is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing? If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it, I'm willing to put myself out there. We are actually. We are saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country. And when this country is gone, the rest of the world will follow." When another reporter asked about Qanon, Trump said that "I've heard these are people who love our country", coming close to an endorsement.
Qanon is as nutty and lunatic a group as there is or has been in American politics, and the President of the United States is openly soliciting their support and more or less saying that he agrees with them. He also just said that liberals are a threat not only to the survival of America, but the entire world (and make no mistake, when says "radical left philosophy" he's pretty much describing the entire Democratic Party, or at least 66 million Americans based on the last election.) And this same guy still keeps hanging around in the polls, just like 2016, and still has a very good chance to get reelected. We're living in batshit crazy times.
