John Rothmann apologizes for talking about Donald Trump

 Should a former president promote Q-Anon?

Donald Trump embraced QAnon’s “The storm is coming” meme as he went on a “retruthing” spree on his social media website Truth Social. The one-term president re-posted an image of himself wearing a Q pin on his suit jacket above the “storm” caption and “WWG1WGA.”

Trump has in the past promoted QAnon accounts, though the recent flurry of posts was Trump’s strongest embrace of the right-wing conspiracy theory movement yet.

Both phrases are commonplace in the QAnon-sphere.

The “storm” is a conspiracy theory that eventually Trump will release his secret plan to defeat the deep state and MAGA opponents and sweep back into power.

It is at this moment that the deep state’s leaders are arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay, according to research on QAnon. The second phrase stands for “Where we go one, we go all” and is a rallying cry that comes from the 1996 Jeff Bridges sailing adventure White Squall. Trump’s followers on Truth Social appeared to love the re-truths. “God is bringing the Storm, DJT is rallying the troops,” one wrote.
