It was reported that President Donald Trump disseminated a fabricated claim initially posted on Truth Social, alleging that former President Joe Biden had been executed and subsequently replaced with an engineered robotic duplicate. Trump has previously expressed interest in different conspiracy theories, including openly doubting the authenticity of Biden’s signatures as well as endorsing the unfounded notion that Barack Obama was not a U.S. born citizen.
The original post, endorsed by Trump through a repost on May 31, absurdly speculated that ‘clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities’ had taken the place of the former president. The assertion that Biden was executed in 2020 is entirely false, as he remains alive and well. Trump’s engagement with conspiracy theories is not a new turn of events since his return to the political arena.
A key point to understand is that Biden has never been substituted with a robotic clone, unlike what the original gossip post on Truth Social implied. Biden served as the country’s president from 2021 to 2025. After a less than satisfactory performance in a presidential debate, he withdrew from his reelection bid as questions surrounding his cognitive capacity began to emerge.
Biden, who holds the record of being the oldest president to be in office, has been in the center of debates concerning his cognitive ability. Following these developments, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, urged the former first lady Jill Biden to provide clear communication about her husband’s alleged cognitive decline, accusing her of concealing her husband’s health status from the public.
In recent health-related news, Biden disclosed in May that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which has metastasized to his bones. Despite his diagnosis, the former president has expressed optimism about his planned treatment course. ‘We have high hopes that we will conquer this disease,’ he shared with members of the press at an event in Delaware, his home state.
Trump has quite persistently espoused the conspiracy theory that Biden used an autopen for his signatures. Following his inauguration in January, Trump queried the validity of some of Biden’s last-minute pardons, alleging them to be ‘null and void’ as they purportedly used an autopen for signatures. The Justice Department clarified in 2005 that the use of an autopen for a President’s signature is perfectly legitimate.
Biden took some bold steps in his time of service, including granting immunity to some of his family members and others who he believed were likely targets of Trump’s political revenge. Given Biden’s health revelation, Trump widened his baseless charges alleging that the autopen was used without Biden’s consent for various policies.
During a press conference, Trump boldly declared that the autopen incident might emerge as one of the biggest scandals in history. He questioned, ‘Who is really behind these orders and proclamations and all of the distinct decisions he authorized that adversely affected our country?’ Trump added his belief that although he ‘almost never’ uses the autopen himself, there are circumstances where it could serve to sign certain documents.
Trump has a history of latching onto unfounded claims regarding other presidents. Prior to his first term in the White House, he propagated unverified claims regarding former President Barack Obama’s nationality, falsely insisting Obama wasn’t born in America. However, two months before he won the election, he publicly conceded for the first time that Obama was indeed American born.
Trump’s insistence that he had won the election continued for years, despite the fact that Biden was the actual victor. Trump’s tolerance for conspiracy theories persisted into his subsequent stint in office. He appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a person accused of endorsing conspiracy theories about vaccines.
In another controversial selection, Trump incorporated Kash Patel into his administration, an individual notorious for circulating conspiracy theories about federal employees involved in the Capitol insurgency. Trump also made a move to declassify a wealth of documents concerning the assassination of former President John F Kennedy, a topic riddled with conjecture and speculation over the years.
In a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump alleged a genocide was being perpetrated against white South African farmers. All these instances serve as examples of Trump’s engagement and spread of baseless conspiracy theories, resulting in an administration marked by questionable claims and misinformation.
