For the time capsule: the president on QAnon.

Savannah Guthrie: (18:15)
All right, while we’re denouncing, let me ask you about QAnon. It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior, of that. Now can you just, once and for all, state that that is completely not true, and-

President Trump: (18:34)
So, I know [crosstalk 00:18:35]-

Savannah Guthrie: (18:34)
… disavow QAnon-

President Trump: (18:34)
Yeah.

Savannah Guthrie: (18:36)
… in its entirety?

President Trump: (18:37)
I know nothing about QAnon.

Savannah Guthrie: (18:39)
I just told you.

President Trump: (18:41)
I know very little. You told me, but what you tell me, doesn’t necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that. I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia. They fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it. If you’d like me to-

Savannah Guthrie: (18:54)
They believe that it is a Satanic cult run by the deep state.

President Trump: (18:57)
… study the subject. I’ll tell you what I do know about. I know about Antifa, and I know about the radical left, and I know how violent they are and how vicious they are. And I know how they are burning down cities run by Democrats, not run by Republicans.

Republican Senator Ben Sasse said, quote, “QAnon is nuts and real leaders call conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories.”

President Trump: (19:20)
He may be right.

Savannah Guthrie: (19:20)
Why not just say, it’s crazy and not true?

President Trump: (19:20)
Can I be honest? He may be right. I just don’t know about QAnon.

Savannah Guthrie: (19:22)
You do know.

President Trump: (19:23)
I don’t know. No, I don’t know. I don’t know. You tell me all about it.

Savannah Guthrie: (19:28)
Let me ask you another thing.

President Trump: (19:28)
Let’s waste the whole show. You start off with white supremacy. I denounce it. You start off with something else. Let’s go. Keep asking me these questions. But let me just-

Trump, "I do know they are very much against pedophilia."

IOW Trump knows all about QAnon because one of their core believes is that a "deep state"
of liberal pedophiles are working to take down Donald Trump.
