Frank Figliuzzi is a former FBI official.
Trump is embracing the movement because he feels cornered, according to figliuzzi.
If the movement felt threatened, violence could happen.
According to a former FBI official, Donald Trump is probably feeling cornered and embracing the Qanon movement out of desperation.
During a Monday appearance on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," a former FBI assistant director weighed in on Trump's links to the Qanon movement. The host asked if he thought Trump knew how dangerous the movement was.
I think he is attracted to this because he knows it. It's like a flying insect.
He knows that he is being cornered. This is the last act of a desperate man, because he's in trouble on so many legal and criminal fronts.
There was a song playing during Trump's speech in Ohio. During the rally, Trump's supporters were seen pointing their fingers to the sky, which may have been a nod to the movement's slogan, "Where we go one we go all."
A sign that Trump may be losing support from his base is the fact that the stadium in Ohio was not fully filled.
As the leader is threatened, the cult gets more and more dangerous. They do something cult experts call forcing the end.
If the leader calls for violence or is taken out, this could happen.
The members take a step up and try to get the ending they want. It only takes a small group of people to do that.
The Trump rally in Ohio is just one of many recent instances in which the former president appeared to embrace a movement that claims without basis that Trump is fighting a deep-state group of ped sex offenders. In a stream of messages after the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago, Trump shared over a dozen posts on his Truth Social account. The movement's "where we go one we go all" slogan was included in a post by the former president on the Truth Social platform.
The representative at Trump's post-presidential press office did not respond to Insider's questions.
