Donald Trump Shares Bizarre Post Claiming Joe Biden Was "Executed" And Replaced By Clones
US President Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy over the weekend by sharing a post on his social media platform that falsely claimed former President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced by clones.
The post, originally shared on Truth Social, declared: "There is no Joe Biden - executed in 2020. Biden clones, doubles and robotic engineered soulless, mindless entities are what you see." The post ended with a series of hashtags and claimed "Democrats don't know the difference."
Trump reposted the claim without adding any commentary, leading to criticism online for amplifying a conspiracy theory.
The post was part of a series of links Trump shared on Saturday night, many of which focused on his efforts to revive American steel manufacturing. However, the inclusion of a post promoting unfounded claims about Biden's identity stood out and drew attention.
This comes even as Trump recently issued a statement wishing Biden a speedy recovery following reports of his cancer diagnosis.
"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."
Earlier, Trump called his predecessor Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis "very sad" before accusing former White House staff and the Biden family of "not telling the facts." Casting doubts over the timing of the announcement, the Republican leader said he was "surprised" the public wasn't informed sooner about Biden's condition.
"I think it's very sad, actually. I'm surprised that it wasn't, you know -- the public wasn't notified a long time ago," Trump said while talking to reporters in the Oval Office.

US Court Stays Deportation Of Family Of Colorado Attack Suspect
A US judge on Wednesday ordered a temporary stay on any efforts to deport the family of a man suspected of carrying out a Molotov cocktail attack on Jewish protesters at the weekend. The move is the latest in a growing list of confrontations between President Donald Trump's administration and the independent court system. The wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman were detained by immigration officials as law enforcement probed the fiery assault on a peaceful march in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday. Twelve people were hurt when an assailant lobbed homemade incendiary devices and shouted "Free Palestine," calling those present "killers." Soliman -- who authorities said had entered the United States on a tourist visa and had subsequently applied for asylum -- was arrested at the scene. Trump's administration was quick to pledge to deport his family, who are reportedly from Egypt. On Tuesday the White House appeared to taunt the suspect's family, writing on social media: "Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids." "Final Boarding Call Coming Soon." That came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday pledged to rid the US of "terrorists" who were in the United States temporarily on visas. Judge Gordon Gallagher on Wednesday granted a temporary restraining order against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons and the local ICE chief. "Defendants SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this order," the edict says. The legal ruling is the latest in a long line of stays and restraining orders the courts have issued in response to increasingly aggressive moves by the administration to remove non-citizens, including to foreign prisons. The Trump administration systematically accuses judges who oppose his immigration decisions of usurping his presidential national security powers. Soliman is due to appear in court in Colorado on Thursday. He is expected to formally face federal hate crime charges, as well as state charges of attempted murder.

Trump Orders Probe Into 'Conspiracy' To Hide Biden's 'Mental State'
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered an investigation into what Republicans claim was a "conspiracy" to cover up Joe Biden's declining cognitive health during his time in the White House. The move is the latest in a long-running campaign by Trump to discredit his predecessor, which has been joined by Republican Party politicians and their cheerleaders in the conservative media. But it also comes as a growing chorus of Democrats begin to acknowledge the former president appeared to have been slipping in recent years. Those concerns were thrown into stark relief by a disastrous debate performance against Trump during last year's presidential campaign, in which the then-81-year-old stumbled over his words and repeatedly lost his train of thought. "In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden's aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline," a presidential memorandum issued Wednesday reads. "This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. "The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts." Republicans have long claimed that Biden was suffering from intellectual decline even as the White House pressed ahead with major legislation and presidential decrees. They cite his infrequent public appearances, as well as his apparent unwillingness to sit for interviews as evidence of what they say was a man incapable of doing the demanding job of Commander-in-Chief of the United States. They insist that those around him covered up his physical and cognitive decline, taking decisions on his behalf and using a device that could reproduce his signature to allow them to continue to run the country in his name. "The Counsel to the President, in consultation with the Attorney General and the head of any other relevant executive department or agency... shall investigate... whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden's mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President," the document says. The probe will also look at "the circumstances surrounding Biden's supposed execution of numerous executive actions during his final years in office (including) the policy documents for which the autopen was used (and) who directed that the President's signature be affixed." Biden's calamitous debate performance ultimately sank his bid for reelection, with key Democratic Party figures soon calling for him to drop out of the race. But it was only several weeks later, after unsuccessful attempts to quieten his critics, that he withdrew, anointing his vice-president Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to Trump.
