QAnon beliefs continue to poison politics. Now Donald Trump seems to be making open use of the fringe movement.

QAnon is the conspiracy theory that falsely claims former President Donald Trump fought a hidden war against a cabal of Satanist pedophiles in Hollywood and the Democratic Party while he was in the White House. It appears that Trump -- who said in 2020 he didn't know much about QAnon -- has now adopted the movement.
On Truth Social, the social media platform that he owns, Trump regularly promotes content from QAnon believers including a post from Sept. 12 showing a graphic of him wearing a Q lapel pin. The image also includes a phrase commonly used by believers in the conspiracy theory -- "The storm is coming" -- and the abbreviation "WWG1WGA," which refers to the Q slogan "Where we go one, we go all."
Belief in the conspiracy theory's ridiculous claims, which originated back in 2017, continue to infect politics, and that could have serious ramifications in the midterm elections. The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, a nonprofit that researches the intersection of religion, culture and public policy, released a study in February showing that nearly 16% of Americans believe the core QAnon conspiracy theory.
