Donald Trump shares baseless conspiracy that Biden was ‘executed in 2020’

President Donald Trump has reposted a baseless conspiracy theory about former president and rival Joe Biden to his official Truth Social account.

Late on Saturday night, the 78-year-old president shared a post from a small, pro-Trump account which read: “There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020.”

It goes on to say that the real Biden was replaced by “clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities,” and that Democrats “don’t know the difference.”

There is no credible evidence to support any part of this claim. Biden has made numerous live public appearances, participated in unscripted press conferences, and engaged in direct interactions with world leaders, all of which would be impossible to convincingly fake with current technology.

Additionally, such an extensive cover-up would require the complicity of thousands of people across the political spectrum, including Republicans, journalists, and foreign officials—an implausible scenario.

The conspiracy theory is unfounded and serves only to spread misinformation and erode public trust.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House for clarification on why Trump shared the post and whether this in any way represents his endorsement of the conspiracy theory.

The Truth Social post itself linked to an article by the satirical conservative website Babylon Bee, which is unrelated to the conspiracy theory and entitled “Biden Family Worried They May Be Running Out Of Time To Exploit Joe Biden’s Health.”

Biden recently revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
