Trump is secretly working with Mueller! Tom Hanks is a pedophile! This is truly nuts. > **[QAnon: What the ‘We Are Q’ shirts at Trump’s rallies mean](https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/politics/presidential/qanon-we-are-q-4chan-conspiracy-theory-trump-explained-20180801.html)** > > Trump's rally in Florida turned into a coming-out party for one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories to emerge from the internet. > [@](#): > > Throughout the broadcast, Fox News (the only network to stream the president’s rally live in its entirety) kept catching attendees in the crowd holding signs stating “We Are Q” and wearing T-shirts adorned with the letter “Q.” One attendee can be heard shouting to CNN reporter Jim Acosta to ask Trump about QAnon. > … > The “Q” stands for QAnon, a supposed government insider with top security clearance (the alias is a reference to Q-level security clearance) who has access to the real truth about the Clintons, pedophile rings, Barack Obama, Tom Hanks and a nebulous “deep state” out to get the president. > … > Since then “Q” has dropped random clues on 4chan and 8chan known as “bread crumbs” his followers believe are linked to top secret information that reveals Trump’s efforts to end a complex ring of human trafficking and child abuse that they say Democrats and Hollywood celebrities have attempted to cover up. > … > Supporters also believe Trump is not being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller. Instead, they think Trump only acted as though he engaged in a conspiracy with Russia in order to get Mueller appointed, so the two could secretly work together to take down this supposed cabal of criminals. . ---

QAnon **IS** Trump. Trump himself was originally planted by 4chan. Now it all makes sense. It also works in a subtle (or not-so-subtle) reference to Qanoon-e-Islam, proving that Trump is an Indian Muslim. ---

YouTube is full of this nonsense, both by true believers and people talking about it being nonsense. ---

I never heard of a Q-level security clearance - apparently it’s a Dept of Energy equivalent of the DoD Top Secret. So someone with DoE has the secret scoop on Trump and Mueller? yeah, sure, why not… ---
