  • A video shared thousands of times on Facebook and Twitter purports to show former US president Donald Trump signing a document featuring the logo of QAnon conspiracy theory group. However, the posts are satirical; the clip has been doctored from footage showing Trump signing a healthcare executive order in 2017. The video has been shared in multiple social media posts, including a tweet from February 4, 2021 which has viewed more than 13,000 times. See Trump's momentum when he signed his name and...what exactly did he sign? the tweet's Chinese-language caption reads. Screenshot taken on February 10, 2021, of the misleading Twitter post The clip shows former US president Donald Trump appearing to sign a document before holding it up to reveal the letter Q and a skull on the left page, while the adjacent pages reads THE BEST IS YET TO COME. Q is a representative letter for QAnon , a conspiracy theory movement that claims Trump is waging a secret war against a global liberal cult of Satan-worshipping paedophiles. AFP has debunked several false claims pushed by QAnon followers, as seen here and here . The best is yet to come was a phrase used by Trump in a farewell address the day before his successor President Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021.
