Here's the immediate repercussions if POTUS verifies Q is real:  Stock owners of tech companies such as Google and Twitter will sell off in record numbers. Industries whose profits are connected to the Federal Reserve will immediately plummet. Hollywood profits will plummet. The cost of gold will go through the roof. Americans everywhere will become terrified.

DS tells minorities the 100,000 sealed indictments are for them. This new tension between two sides will be enough to cause major bloodshed and civil war. Martial law will be enacted.  National Guard troops will be called up all around the country to enforce this martial law. Top charities will begin to dry up. Blood and organ donors will plummet. There will be a mass exodus from the Catholic church.  The common crow will go on the endangered list as millions of Q followers are serving it to all those that doubted Q.
