The Washington Post reports:
President Trump on Tuesday promoted two Twitter accounts that have shown support for the online conspiracy theory known as QAnon, amplifying the fringe accounts to his millions of followers.
The president tagged one user in a tweet about election security and retweeted another blaming Democrats for voter fraud. “We should immediately pass Voter ID @Voteridplease to insure the safety and sanctity of our voting system. Also, Paper Ballots as backup (old fashioned but true!). Thank you!” Trump tweeted.
The user he tagged, @Voteridplease, has shared content related to QAnon. Trump then retweeted another account that shared a large graphic that read, “DEMOCRATS ARE THE TRUE ENEMIES OF AMERICA!” That user has also linked to QAnon material.
We should immediately pass Voter ID @Voteridplease to insure the safety and sanctity of our voting system. Also, Paper Ballots as backup (old fashioned but true!). Thank you!

Holy shit. The account the president of the United States just retweeted (@LYNNTHO06607841) posted a meme 5 days ago accusing the Clintons of "torturing and sacrificing children" and then consuming their secretions. pic.twitter.com/ujmrhGb6QJ
