My guess is it's really a 40-year-old morbidly obese man in his skidmark underwear living in his mother's basement that has never worked a job before.

Knowing what cults often do when their leaders are young, teenage girls, this is incredibly sad and disturbing.

QAnon are notoriously obsessed with pedophilia, so no surprise that they make this claim.

No. He's supposed to come back from the dead.

Because.... Something about the government wanted to kill him and he's been in hiding but somehow he was going to reveal himself and tell everyone that Trump is the true president (yeah I know it doesn't make any damn sense on many levels).
