He has done this before… this time the account he was retweeting was suspended:
QAnon believers commonly tag their social media posts with the hashtag #WWG1WGA, signifying the motto “where we go one, we go all.”
The QAnon conspiracy first appeared on the online message board 4chan in 2017. To paraphrase from the Atlantic’s “QAnon Is a New American Religion,” the conspiracy alleges that a cabal of global elites who commit unspeakable crimes benefit from a “deep state” of political and military agents that abuses its considerable influence. Conspiracy theorists believe that Donald Trump is a hero and mastermind working to destroy the deep state and punish these elites for their crimes. These ideas originate in part from an anonymous figure called “Q” who periodically leaves clues about the conspiracy on the internet.
According to Newsweek, “the storm” is another term to describe the QAnon conspiracy movement. The storm typically alludes to a storm of information and, presumably, of action that will prove the conspiracy true and punish those who have benefited from the deep state. In 2018, Trump made a cryptic remark about the calm before the storm, raising questions about Trump’s meaning given the rising popularity of the QAnon conspiracy and its various dog whistles.
President Trump reposted a message amid national unrest on Sunday expressing support for the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory, a movement the FBI considers a potential domestic terror threat. In his tweet, Trump quote-tweeted a May 30 tweet from “Sean Cordicon,” a QAnon conspiracy theory promoter. Cordicon’s tweet included a Trump rally highlight reel and a message to his audience that they are “the calm before, during, & after the storm.” Cordicon’s tweet appears to be a reference to “The Storm,” a QAnon concept that imagines Trump and the military suddenly arresting and either executing or imprisoning top Democrats. Trump responded to the tweet with a one-word message of his own: “STRENGTH!” Shortly after Trump retweeted the message, Cordicon’s account was suspended. Twitter told The Daily Beast the account was suspended because its owner had been banned from the site already.
Trump’s retweet of the “storm” message was taken as proof by QAnon believers that the arrests were about to begin, with one popular QAnon account tweeting “Here we go.” Earlier on Sunday, Trump declared that he would designate left-wing antifascist “antifa” demonstrators as terrorists. But QAnon believers have committed a number of alleged crimes, having been charged with two murders, a terrorist incident, and two child abduction plots, among other crimes.
