Trump shares bizarre claim alleging Biden was ‘executed’ in 2020, replaced by a clone
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.”

BJP accuses Karnataka govt of 'failing' to prevent noise pollution caused by 'azaan'
Belagavi (Karnataka) (PTI): Members of the Opposition BJP on Tuesday slammed the Karnataka government for not taking measures to prevent the alleged noise pollution caused by 'azaan', the Islamic call to prayer.
BJP MLC D S Arun raised the issue in the Legislative Council during the question hour, accusing the ruling Congress of "appeasement" by failing to take action against mosques that are violating the Supreme Court's directives.
Karnataka Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment Eshwar Khandre, responding to the question, said, as per the directives of the Supreme Court in sensitive zones, the noise level should not exceed 50 decibels during the day and 40 decibels at night, and in residential areas, 55 decibels during the day and 45 decibels at night.
In commercial areas, the noise should not exceed 65 decibels during the day, 55 at night, and in industrial areas, 75 during the day and at night 70 decibels, he said.
Pointing out that the Karnataka government had issued an order in 2022, assigning responsibility to a committee headed by a DySPs or ACPs for the effective implementation of the rules, the minister said when a complaint is received about noise pollution, the Pollution Control Board will inspect it and provide information about the decibel level to the police to take further action, including filing of criminal cases.

"Not only during azaan, but also during bhajans held in temples and marriage events, among others, the violations happen. There is a need to spread awareness. The Supreme Court has ordered against bursting firecrackers, but it is being violated. Efforts will be made to implement the rules effectively," he said.
Several BJP MLAs, including Arun, Bharathi Shetty, among others, were not satisfied with the minister's reply. They took strong exception to it.
Arun noted that in the last three years, only 52 cases have been taken, and said there are clear violations by almost all mosques, but no action has been taken. "The decibels have in fact increased under this government. The government is giving protection to them."
Reacting to this, Khandre, calling it a "sensitive matter", said, "It is not right to politicise the issue. The law of this land is equal for everyone."
Hitting back, Arun asked, "Why is the matter sensitive? What is preventing you (the government) from implementing the Supreme Court directives?"
