President Trump shared a wild conspiracy theory late Saturday that claimed former President Joe Biden had actually been executed in 2020 and was replaced by “soulless, mindless” clones.
Without commenting on the merits of the bonkers conspiracy theory, Trump shared a post on Truth Social from llijh, a little-known user with fewer than 1,000 followers.
“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference,” the post claimed.
It is unclear why Trump shared the post, but he is known for trolling is critics on social media.
Trump last met Biden in person roughly five months ago during Inauguration Day, and shared the debate stage with him in both 2020 and 2024.
Since then, the president has frequently bashed his predecessor, who is now subject to renewed scrutiny over his mental acuity amid the release of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.”
Trump has publicly suggested that Biden wasn’t fully in control of his administration, due to his use of autopen to sign key documents, something that Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are investigating.
“I think the autopen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time,” Trump said on Friday during an Oval Office event with tech baron Elon Musk.
“He’s been a sort of a moderate person over his life, and a smart person, but somewhat vicious person, I will say, if you feel sorry for him, don’t feel so sorry because he’s vicious.”
Congressional Republicans, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), have been investigating Biden’s health while he served as commander in chief.
Comer had summoned five confidants of Biden to answer questions about the 46th president’s health.
Biden’s team announced last month that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Despite that, the former president is optimistic about his prognosis.
“We’re going to be able to beat this,” Biden told reporters in New Castle, Delaware on Friday, noting that he’s begun treatment. “We’re working on everything, it’s moving along. I feel good,”
“All the folks are optimistic.”
