Trump shares theory that Joe Biden DIED in 2020 and was replaced by a clone
President Donald Trump shared a bizarre theory on social media Saturday night that suggested Joe Biden died in 2020 and has since been replaced by a 'clone.' The Truth Social post, which has since gone viral, stated bluntly that the former president of the United States had somehow been dead for years while still in office. 'There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see,' wrote the user named llijh. '# Democrats dont know the difference.' Trump did not add any of his own commentary to the post, but simply amplifying the wild conspiracy created confusion. Almost immediately, social media erupted, with supporters and critics alike grappling with the surreal suggestion. 'We all knew something was completely off,' one commenter wrote. 'Although Trump has said repeatedly that Joe Biden was shot.' Others reveled in the uncanny nature of the moment: 'Wow! President Trump just re-truthed this post,' exclaimed one astonished user. Another chimed in: 'I cannot believe President Trump just reTRUTHED this.' The president's replies section rapidly devolved into a torrent of wild speculation about what surprises may be ahead. 'Well you just went there! Go you! The truth is coming! Buckle up!' one supporter cheered. President Donald Trump re-truthed a bizarre and conspiratorial post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday night suggesting that Joe Biden died in 2020 and has since been replaced by a 'clone' Trump himself did not add any commentary to the post, but the act of re-truthing it spoke volumes 'Thank you, do you know how long I've been saying this? Trump was still our President in his first term and I knew Joe Biden was gone during his run for president. They installed The actor (blue eyes & brown eyes),' wrote another, referring to fringe theories that claim noticeable changes in Biden's eye color are evidence of a body double. Others mocked the madness. 'Just like all MAGAts, you're all into conspiracy theories. Do you think the earth is flat as well? Just wondering,' one user wrote sarcastically. 'We knew this but now it's confirmed by the Commander in Chief! Wow!!! NCSWIC…nothing! Trust the Plan!' added a QAnon sympathizer, referencing the popular but baseless 'Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming' slogan. Trump's casual amplification served to underscore the surreal and conspiratorial environment that defines the MAGA movement. This isn't the first time Trump has danced with conspiracy theories. Throughout his first term as president Trump continued to given oxygen to baseless theories: suggesting Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination, refusing to fully distance himself from QAnon, and promoting claims of massive voter fraud during the 2020 election without evidence. Trump was the most prominent promoter of the so-called 'birther' conspiracy, falsely claiming that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. For years, Trump demanded Obama's birth certificate and continued to suggest it was fraudulent even after Obama released the official long-form document. It wasn't until 2016, under mounting political pressure, that Trump finally admitted Obama was born in the US - without apology or acknowledgment of the damage the false claims had caused. But suggesting the idea that a former president of the United States was a 'clone' pushes the envelope even further. The statement appeared more like the plot of a sci-fi movie than a concept worthy of the attention of a head of state. Last month, Biden's cancer announcement revived questions about the extent of his health issues during his tenure, with Trump saying Biden should have been more transparent with the public. Biden's office said he had been diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. It placed renewed focus on the health of the 82-year-old with the publication of a book that details widespread concerns about Biden's mental acuity among aides and Democratic insiders as he pursued reelection in 2024. The new book, 'Original Sin,' by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson put a spotlight on Biden's mental acuity in his final months in office. Excerpts from the book have prompted new questions about whether critical information was withheld from the American public about Biden's ability to serve in the White House. Biden's closest aides have dismissed those concerns, saying Biden was fully capable of making important decisions. Biden has appeared on television to rebut accusations that his mental capacity had diminished during his 2021-2025 term. Biden, the oldest person ever to serve as president, was forced to drop his reelection bid last July after a stumbling debate performance against Trump eroded his support among fellow Democrats. Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris, launched a bid of her own but lost to Trump in the November 2024 election.

Donald Trump shares shocking theory about Clinton 'assassinations'
President Donald Trump has shared a shocking conspiracy theory linking Bill and Hillary Clinton to a series of high-profile deaths. Trump shared an explosive video on his Truth Social account on Saturday accusing the powerful political couple of eliminating several enemies and potential threats over the decades. Titled 'THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE', the footage attempts to connect the former First Lady and her husband President Bill Clinton, to a string of deaths including those of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, and former White House lawyer Vince Foster. Trump didn't offer any comment of his own to accompany the bizarre post. The controversial footage pushes the 'Clinton Body Bags' conspiracy theory that has circulated since the 1990s. The video shockingly claims that Hillary Clinton was somehow involved in JFK Jr.'s fatal 1999 plane crash because he was allegedly a 'frontrunner' for the New York Senate seat she would later win. 'Remember John F Kennedy Jr? He was declared the front runner for the New York Senate seat back in 1999 days later, his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, and his rival Hillary Clinton was elected senator,' the video begins. Trump shared the explosive video on his Truth Social account on Saturday that alleges the powerful political couple were behind the deaths of seven people In another explosive allegation, the video claims the Clintons orchestrated the murder of Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern who worked under Bill Clinton's administration in 1997. 'Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern. She knew enough of the inner workings of Bill's sexual advancements to be a star witness during the Clinton impeachment trials,' the narrator says. 'She was brutally executed at a Starbucks Tuesday in 1997.' The video also revisits questions about Vince Foster, the deputy White House counsel who died by suicide in 1993. 'In 1993 White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy park near DC, he supposedly killed himself, and among a lengthy list of potential foul play, the bullet was never found.' The clip then discusses James McDougal, key witness for White House prosecutors. 'He was serving his three year sentence for bank fraud at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas, and just before he was to give the testimony before the grand jury. McDougall suffered a heart attack in solitary confinement in 2015.' 'Walter Scheib, a White House Chef hired under Bill Clinton, joined the list. His body was found at the bottom of a river nearly two miles from the base of the trail he was reportedly hiking. An autopsy determined that Scheib death was accidental drowning, but he might have known too much.' The video concludes with the most recent conspiracy death of 27-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who was shot and killed in DC in 2016. 'There is speculation that he was the source of the controversial leaked emails allegedly sent by DNC staffers, and that he may have been murdered in retaliation then Sean Lucas will lead eternity in a frog case against the Dean C was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home,' the narrator says. 'On August, 2. His death was reported classified, pending the results of an autopsy.' The video's origin is unclear, but the explosive claims it contains have been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers over decades. In 2019, Trump retweeted conspiracy theories linking his political enemies Bill and Hillary Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. Trump's Twitter feed included a link to a breaking news site which claims that unsealed court documents revealed 'top Democrats, including Bill Clinton, took private trips to Jeffrey Epstein's 'pedophilia island'.' The president also retweeted a post from Terrence K. Williams, an actor and comedian who was known for his conservative views. Williams tweeted: 'Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH ? Yeah right! How does that happen…[Epstein] had information on Bill Clinton & now he's dead. 'I see #TrumpBodyCount trending but we know who did this!'

Karoline Leavitt Breaks With Boss on ‘Trump 2028'
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed Donald Trump is just 'trolling' about pursuing a third term as president—despite the fact that Trump himself insists he's 'not joking.' During her second 'new media' briefing, where Leavitt speaks to a group of mostly Trump supporters, one attendee asked Leavitt to play a game of 'Trump Troll or Trump Truth.' The game involved Leavitt naming whether certain Trump proclamations were his true desires or just an elaborate form of public joking. Leavitt claimed that some of Trump's desires—including invading Greenland and having Canada become the 51st state—were indeed Trump 'truths.' But when the attendee asked her the same about Trump's musings on running for president again in 2028, she was unequivocal: Trump was joking. 'Trump trolling,' she said, 'although the hats are flying off the shelves.' Leavitt was referring to $50 red hats sold by the Trump Organization that boldly proclaim 'TRUMP 2028' and have been promoted by Trump son Eric Trump. The admission is an about face from Trump's repeated insistence that he was not, in fact, joking about running for a third term. Trump told NBC News last month that, though it was 'too early to even talk about it,' he was 'not joking' about considering a potential third term and claimed there were 'methods' to circumvent the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution that explicitly prohibits such candidacies. He has since tried to walk back the desire, claiming to TIME he didn't 'believe in' using 'loopholes' in the law and telling The Atlantic a third term was 'not something that I'm looking to do.' Attorney General Pam Bondi also said getting around the Constitution would be a 'heavy lift.' Still, Trump has left the door open to 'shattering' the democratic norm after claiming his supporters beg him to stay in the White House. An ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday showed that 62 percent of Americans do not want Trump to run fro a third term. 'That would be a big shattering, wouldn't it?' he told The Atlantic last week.
