Q is the seventeenth letter in the alphabet. That was why the tweeter joked about people saying Q was a LARP.

I remember when the pic on the left was posted and some critics were saying that they couldn’t give POTUS 45 because that number already had a player, and so they gave him 17 because…well I don’t remember the reason. Maybe it was the 17th game, or the 17th of the month, or something.
So, twice now POTUS has been given 17 from two different teams? Coincidence?

Interesting but they are also the 2017 winners.

I found articles on both presentations, with no explanation on either for the 17.
Please check out the book, The Evolutionary Psychology Behind Politics, which is available at Amazon at the link below. It is also offered free in Kindle format periodically. For more on that offer, see:
What are r and K?
This site asks for your help in promoting the idea that our political ideologies evolved from r/K Selection Theory in evolutionary ecology.
In evolutionary ecology, r and K describe two fundamental psychologies seen in nature, designed to adapt an organism to either a glut or a shortage.
Rabbits are r-strategists, designed to exploit free resources, like fields of grass. The five psychological traits inherent to the r-strategy are docility/conflict-avoidance, promiscuity/non-monogamy, single-mom'ing, early sexualization of young, and no loyalty to a competitive in-group. All help this glut-exploiting psychology to out-reproduce everyone else by avoiding danger, mating widely starting young, booting offspring early to mate again, and never risking for others .
Wolves are K-strategists, designed for when resources are too limited for everyone to survive. The five traits of a K-strategist are competitiveness/ aggressiveness/protectiveness, competitive mate monopolization/ monogamy, high-investment two-parent rearing, only mating when mature, and high loyalty to one's competitive in-group. All these traits either help you win when you have to fight, or produce and protect fitter offspring, so they will win in a dangerous world that culls the weak.
Our political battle is one between a glut-exploiting r-reproductive strategy of rabbits designed to produce raw numbers and a shortage-surviving K-reproductive strategy of wolves designed to produce quality. The swings between conservatism and liberalism at the societal level are not the result of logical argument or reasoned debate. They are the result of psychological shifts produced by perceptions of K-stimuli in the environment such as conflict, danger, and shortage, or r-stimuli, such as safety, pleasure, and abundance. These perceptions trigger ancient mechanisms in the brain that adapt psychology to environment. All of politics and much of history are r vs K.
Please consider helping to spread this theory by telling others about this site. As you can see by the shocked 5 star reviews on the book's Amazon page linked above, this idea, and the science behind it, blows people away when they see it. And best of all, it will utterly demoralize and crush any leftist you describe it to, in unbelievable fashion. This idea's beneficial effects on our governance and our freedom cannot be overestimated, if it can only spread.
So what does 17 signify?

Curious as hell.
Q is the seventeenth letter.
Trump played football in high school (military academy). His number was 85 so the 17 isn’t that.
