Just one out of many of Trump's far-right sources
From Media Matters:
Thread: Trump last night amplified nearly 20 accounts supporting QAnon & that have pushed QAnon content (some of these include accounts retweeted or quote tweeted multiple times), easily the most I've seen in one day so far. Below are images showing this. pic.twitter.com/N1Sv27doEs

Our classy president
Yesterday, President Trump retweeted the following:
Newsweek explains:
The picture was originally posted by Twitter user Deb Porter, who identifies herself on her Twitter profile as a "Proud Trump Supporter!" Her Twitter feed is mostly retweets of pro-Trump and conservative comments and articles. Porter did not include a comment when she posted the image to her account, nor did Trump when he retweeted it. Shortly after 11 p.m. EST, however, Porter's account was suspended by Twitter, removing the tweet from Trump's timeline.
