The scepticism comes from the argument that the trip code has been compromised by Watkins fuckery. Checking the trip doesn't help if the trip is compromised. Whether the trip has actually been compromised is a different matter. It's more complicated than "always check the trip code". The OP had provided other good signs to look for.
Keep in mind that Jim Watkins could be getting set-up by bad actors too. There are other ways that the trip codes could be compromised without Jim being the one behind it. And, we do know that Jim has a target on his head.
Why would Jim or Ron risk this?...The entire Q following would hate them forever and Ron's aspiration to hold an office would evaporate. Also on my mind is why would Q/QTeam allow this? Wouldn't they protect the platform that they chose to use?
I agree that it would be foolish for Ron to try this stunt. But Ron is human, and subject to making mistakes, like anyone else. It is conceivable (probable in my opinion) that someone else is making the fake Q posts, and Ron has been tricked by them, or set-up.
Also, Q team may not be able to post to the board for various reasons. Perhaps the board is compromised- the known fake "B post" is evidence that something is/was amiss on the board, and recent trip code errors further support that notion. Or, perhaps there are legal, or other issues that are preventing Q team from posting- we do know that Pelosi and gang were making efforts to shut Q down.
And, of course there is a possibility that Ron is behind the fake posts, motivated by a benevolent desire to inspire the Q community to become more active prior to the mid-term elections, and simply made a dumb move to try to make that happen.
Either way, we should expect much better Q proofs than what we have seen so far. No harm is done by doubting the authenticity of the NewQ posts. But, a whole lot of harm could be done if we are all mislead by fake posts.
Always check the trip code. That is the proof it is Q. No trip code means it is 100% fake.
