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.”

Mamata alleges EC playing 'nice game' for BJP, questions transfer of officers ahead of Eid
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the EC, alleging that senior administrative and police officers were being transferred ahead of the assembly polls at the behest of the BJP.
She warned that the poll body and the saffron party would be responsible if any untoward incident happens in the state.
Addressing reporters while announcing the Trinamool Congress candidate list for the 2026 assembly elections, Banerjee questioned the timing of the changes in key administrative posts, particularly ahead of Eid.
"Why are senior officers being transferred just before Eid? Are there plans to trigger riots before elections?" she said.
The chief minister alleged that the list of officers who were transferred was prepared at the BJP's office and the decision was merely implemented by the Election Commission.
She further alleged that some officials from outside West Bengal had been brought in to assist the BJP in the electoral process.
"They have brought in some people from outside the state to help the BJP," she said.
Accusing the poll panel of acting under political pressure, the TMC supremo said the EC was "playing a nice game on behalf of the BJP".
"They should directly campaign for the BJP," she said.
Banerjee also alleged that the transfers were aimed at facilitating the movement of money and arms for the BJP ahead of the polls.
"The officers have been replaced so that money and arms are smoothly transferred to the BJP without any hindrance," she claimed.
Warning of consequences if any incident occurs during the election period, Banerjee said both the BJP and the Election Commission would have to answer for it.
"If something untoward happens, the BJP and the EC will be responsible. If something goes wrong, then they should be answerable," she said.
The TMC chief also attacked the BJP over its political campaign in the state and accused the party of using central agencies against her government.
After the poll dates were announced on Sunday, the EC transferred Chief Secretary Nandini Chakravorty and Home Secretary Jagdish Prasad Meena. It subsequently removed DGP Peeyush Pandey and Kolkata CP Supratim Sarkar.
The elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly will be held in two phases, on April 23 and 29. Votes will be counted on May 4.
