Trump Shares QAnon Posts And Other Particularly Unhinged Social Media Content

Former President Donald Trump once tried to keep a healthy distance between himself and the conspiratorial elements of his supporter base, admitting only a vague familiarity with their beliefs.

A flurry of activity seen on his Truth Social page this week, however, emphasizes how far he’s come toward fully and openly embracing the far-right fringe as he faces an increasingly tight presidential race.

Trump shared several images referencing the baseless QAnon conspiracy that holds him up as a savior battling so-called “deep state” operatives involved in satanic rituals and sex trafficking.

“NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING,” reads text overlaid on one photo illustration of Trump walking somberly between two rows of soldiers as he is flanked by lightning bolts. A pair of eyes painted with stars and stripes fills the space where the sky should be.

Another image includes the same phrase along with the QAnon slogan “where we go one, we go all,” abbreviated as “WWG1WGA!!!”

Another contains a blatantly sexist attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, who is shown in a monochrome photograph alongside former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. A comment below the photo reads, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”

Trump does not appear to have created any of these images. But he liked them enough to repost them to his personal social media feed, signaling that he stands by their messages enough to use his large platform to amplify them.

The social media activity comes as Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has outshined Trump in recent polls — and appears to be gaining ground in battleground states such as Georgia that once seemed like relatively safe bets for him.

Still another social media graphic
