Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump late Saturday night amplified a bizarre conspiracy theory on Truth Social, claiming that former US President Joe Biden was "executed" in 2020 and replaced by a clone.
The 78-year-old Republican reposted content originally shared by a supporter, which read: “There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Democrats don't know the difference.”
Trump added no caption or clarification to the post, leaving observers stunned by his tacit endorsement of such an outlandish theory.
This development comes just a day after Trump criticized Biden, calling him a “somewhat vicious person,” and urged people not to feel sorry for the ailing Democrat. “If you feel sorry for him, don’t feel sorry for him, because he’s vicious,” Trump said during a recent appearance.
Former President Biden, 82, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. He confirmed the diagnosis during a press conference at the White House on Friday, saying: “The expectation is we’re gonna be able to beat this. I’m feeling good.”
The former President had reported urinary symptoms last month, which led to the discovery of a nodule on his prostate. According to official statements, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, making it more manageable through treatment.
Biden addressed the public via social media for the first time since his diagnosis, posting a photo with former First Lady Jill Biden. His caption read: “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka launched a scathing attack on MLC Dr. Yathindra, demanding that he retract his controversial statement comparing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the late Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar. Ashoka urged Yathindra to apologize to the people of Karnataka if he had even a shred of conscience and any respect for the Mysuru royal lineage.
In a strongly worded social media post on Sunday, Ashoka stated, “Comparing Siddaramaiah to Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar is nothing short of absurd. Where is Nalwadi, who was bestowed the title of ‘Rajarshi’ by Mahatma Gandhi himself, and where is Siddaramaiah, who has stooped to being a puppet in the hands of fake Gandhis for the sake of power?”
He continued his critique by contrasting the enduring legacy of Nalwadi, remembered fondly by Kannadigas for his people-centric development, with what he termed as Siddaramaiah’s failure to manage Karnataka’s economy, burdening every household with debt.
Ashoka highlighted several stark differences, while Nalwadi built Mysore University over a century ago, Siddaramaiah is shutting down nine universities due to lack of funds. Nalwadi famously sold his family’s gold to build the KRS dam, whereas Siddaramaiah is accused of grabbing 14 sites meant for the public. Nalwadi established Bhadravati Iron & Steel Plant, Sandalwood Soap Factory, and Mysore Paper Mills. In contrast, Ashoka claimed Siddaramaiah's governance drove away industries, investors, and entrepreneurs. Nalwadi pioneered reservations for the backward classes long before it became mainstream. Siddaramaiah, Ashoka alleged, is reducing social justice to a gimmick by sticking labels on doors in the name of surveys.
While acknowledging Yathindra’s emotional attachment to his father, Ashoka emphasized that comparing Siddaramaiah to a visionary like Nalwadi was “laughable, baseless, and a gross insult” to the late king.
In his concluding remarks, Ashoka slammed the government for ignoring farmers’ needs despite an early monsoon. He accused the administration of being caught up in internal power struggles and negligence, forcing farmers into despair. “This government will not be spared from the curse of the farmers,” he warned.
