In an episode reflective of his eccentric nature, ex-President Donald Trump disseminated a conjecture over his digital networks – a theory which suggests that his predecessor, Joe Biden, was ‘terminated in 2020’ and superseded by an artificial duplicate. This intriguing and yet ridiculous note was shared by Trump on his social media during the late hours of a Saturday night. The press sought to obtain an explanation or at least a comment from the administrative corner of the White House on this peculiar note: to no avail.
Ever since the dawn of his political afterlife, and especially with Biden’s hold of the presidency in its inception, Trump’s criticisms of Biden have grown increasingly frequent and daily. Rather perplexingly, Trump squarely holds Biden accountable for a vast number of societal problems. Included in his gripes was an unfounded assertion that Biden’s staff have been deploying an autopen to implement policies and release pardons on their own, supposedly without Biden’s approval or awareness.
Trump’s historical propensity for circulating unconventional theories online is well known, and surprisingly, these theories even found resonance within the four walls of the White House. A case in point occurred just last month when, in the active presence of the South African president within the Oval Office, Trump professed his belief that caucasian agricultural workers in South Africa were subjected to significant acts of violence. Visual representation emphasizing his conviction was even presented.
Without any concrete evidence or substantive police data, Trump tried to make the world believe in an imaginary ever-looming threat for white South Africans, which he equated with genocide. This desperate move of his appears to be a manipulation designed to foster sympathy and support from his followers.
Trump’s first-term record in the White House was embroidered with a consistent line of either misleading or outright deceptive narratives. A critique led by The New York Times on his social media publications and shares, covering a six-month period during 2024, concludes the repetition of unverified accusations against government officials in orchestrating undisclosed plans.
Notably, the day after Biden had candidly informed journalists about his progressive prostate cancer, and publically tackled his health issue, saying he was ‘doing well’ with his treatment, Trump decided to disregard this statement utterly. Instead, he implied there was some conspiracy about the timeline of Biden’s diagnosis.
This inefficient attempt to dominate the news cycle showing the president’s health as a point of concern is simply a distraction. It’s quite impossible to hide such health issues, particularly for a personality like Biden. Instead of appreciating a man’s openness to tackle personal battle, Trump seems to deviate the narrative toward conspiracy.
The robo-clone theory Trump repeated is quintessential of his far-fetched ideas. Interestingly, there’s an unmistakable pattern of Trump molding the narrative to deny Biden’s autonomy and humanness. Ranging from the claim that Biden’s aides are enacting policies without his awareness, to Biden being a robot, his relentless critique is unwarranted and brings humor to this political space.
Observably, Trump’s attention-seeker attitude continues unabated. Surrounded by a cohort of yes-men, Trump has grown increasingly prone to disseminating unprovable theories. While this has no doubt engaged his hardcore base, it has served only to marginalize him further in the eyes of the mainstream audience.
The form of discourse employed by Trump leaves many observers questioning his motives. Instead of presenting concrete criticism or policies, the focus has devolved into the realm of conspiracies and dehumanizing personal attacks. It just affirms the depth to which public discourse can plunge.
It seems the former president engages in these mental gymnastics to retain his strong base of supporters. Biden’s presidency has had a rocky start, no doubt, but Trump seems to be magnifying these issues with his peculiar theories, aiming to distract the public from constructive dialogue and policy-based critique.
With actions such as these, the ex-president obfuscates the true purpose of political debate, replacing it instead with a spectacle of unfounded conjecture. How can the public trust this source? A source that was once the nation’s foremost representative now seems to take pleasure in promoting theories inconsistent with evident truths.
Moreover, it isn’t shocking that these narratives have started to backfire and cause more of a comic effect than contributing to any political discourse. The image Trump is crafting of Biden doesn’t seem to resonate with the majority, causing such theories merely to be dismissed with incredulity and amusement.
In conclusion, as much as Trump tries to stir the pot with his outlandish theories and infamous social media antics, it seems evident his influence is declining in all but his most uninterruptible base. The constant ridicule is now replaceable with a shared chuckle at the absurdity of his tales.
