"Biden Is A Clone": Inside Trump's New Conspiracy Theory On Predecessor
Washington: US President Trump recently shared another conspiracy theory on social media, saying his predecessor, Joe Biden, was "executed in 2020" and replaced by a robotic clone. The outlandish claim is the latest example of the Republican leader amplifying false material to his millions of followers on social media, and comes days after he claimed white South African farmers were victims of mass killings. The American President reposted a fringe rant from another user on his social media platform, Truth Social, that read, "There is no #JoeBiden-executed in 2020. #Biden clones, doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats don't know the difference." Trump's remark came days after Biden admitted he was diagnosed with an 'aggressive form" of prostate cancer. So far, the White House has not commented on the President's post. In the past, Trump has assailed former President Biden's mental acuity during the end of his tenure and blamed his frail health for all manner of societal ills. He has also promoted theories suggesting Biden's aids used an autopen to enact policies and issue pardons without the Democrat's knowledge. Trump's penchant for sharing debunked or baseless theories is not limited to social media. Last month, while hosting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office, Trump claimed that white South Africans were victims of genocide, even though police data do not show that the white population in the African nation was any more vulnerable than other groups. According to a report by The New York Times, the Republican leader's first term in the White House was filled with false or misleading statements. He reportedly made 30,573 misleading remarks, or 21 a day on average, and repeatedly shared conspiracy theories in the lead-up to the 2024 election. An NYT analysis of the President's thousands of social media posts and reposts over a six-month period in 2024 found that at least 330 of them described both a false, secretive plot against him or the American people and a specific entity supposedly responsible for it. These included suggestions that the FBI had ordered his assassination and accusations that government officials had orchestrated the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Elon Musk denies taking drugs after White House appearance with black eye
Elon Musk on Saturday denied a report that he used ketamine and other drugs extensively last year on the 2024 campaign trail. The New York Times reported Friday that the billionaire adviser to President Donald Trump used so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that he developed bladder problems. The newspaper said the world's richest person also took ecstasy and mushrooms and traveled with a pill box last year, adding that it was not known whether Musk also took drugs while heading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Trump took power in January. In a post Saturday on X, Musk said: "To be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their a** off." He added: "I tried 'prescription' ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then." Musk first dodged a question about his drug use at a bizarre farewell appearance Friday with Trump in the Oval Office in which the Tesla and SpaceX boss sported a noticeable black eye as he formally ended his role as Trump's main cost-cutter at DOGE, which fired tens of thousands of civil servants. News of the injury drew substantial attention as it came right after the Times report on his alleged drug use. The daily recalled erratic behavior such as Musk giving an enthusiastic Nazi-style salute last year. Musk said he got the injury while horsing around with his young son, named X, when he told the child to hit him in the face. "And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is..." he added, before tailing off. Later Friday, when a reporter asked Trump if he was aware of Musk's "regular drug use," Trump responded: "I wasn't." "I think Elon is a fantastic guy," he added. Musk has previously admitted to taking ketamine, saying he was prescribed it to treat a "negative frame of mind" and suggesting his use of drugs benefited his work.

Many Injured After Man Throws Fire Bomb, Shouts 'Free Palestine' In US
Washington: Police said a male suspect was taken into custody on Sunday after an attack that left multiple people with burns in Boulder, Colorado, in what the FBI director described as a "targeted" act of terror. FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson said on X, a social media site, that the suspect "shouted 'Free Palestine' while throwing fire bombs at a crowd of Jewish people." FBI Director Kash Patel described the incident as a "targeted terror attack," and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be "a hate crime given the group that was targeted." The FBI has identified the suspect as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Solima. But Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said earlier in the day that information on the attack, which occurred near a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza, was "very preliminary." "This was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder on Pearl Street and this act was unacceptable," he said. "I ask that you join me in thinking about the victims, the families of those victims, and everyone involved in this tragedy." Pro-Hamas supporters should be categorized as domestic terrorists!! — Jammles (@jammles9) June 1, 2025 The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the United States over Israel's war in Gaza, which has spurred both an increase in antisemitic hate crime as well as moves by conservative supporters of Israel led by President Donald Trump to brand pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitic. His administration has detained protesters of the war without charge and cut off funding to elite US universities that have permitted such demonstrations. Brooke Coffman, a 19-year-old at the University of Colorado who witnessed the Boulder incident, said she saw four women lying or sitting on the ground with burns on their legs. One of them appeared to have been badly burned on most of her body and had been wrapped in a flag by someone, she said. She described seeing a man whom she presumed to be the attacker standing in the courtyard shirtless, holding a glass bottle of clear liquid and shouting. "Everybody is yelling, 'get water, get water,'" Coffman said. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a prominent Jewish Democrat, said he was closely monitoring the situation. "This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism." The attack follows last month's arrest of a Chicago-born man in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, DC Someone opened fire on a group of people leaving an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy group that fights antisemitism and supports Israel. The shooting fueled polarisation in the United States over the war in Gaza between supporters of Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Colorado Governor Jared Polis posted on social media that it was "unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder." Redfearn said he was not able to identify the suspect yet, noting that he had been taken to hospital. He added there were multiple injuries among the victims, ranging "from very serious to more minor."
