President Donald Trump continues his longstanding rivalry with his predecessor, even in light of former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Trump has shared a bizarre theory suggesting that Biden might be a clone.
Last month, the 46th president announced his diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. Initially, Trump expressed sympathy on Truth Social, stating that he and Melania were ‘saddened’ by the news. However, he later urged others not to feel sorry for Biden in a rather insensitive manner.
Biden, who is now 82, defeated Trump in the November 2020 election, gaining the presidency through democratic means—a result Trump, now 78, has never acknowledged as legitimate.
Instead of accepting his defeat, Trump has consistently alleged that the Biden administration manipulated the election and has refused to concede that he lost fairly.
Recently, Trump took another jab at Biden by promoting a conspiracy theory claiming that Joe Biden was ‘executed’ in 2020 and replaced by a clone.
The theory, shared by a MAGA supporter, stated: “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 did not comment directly on the post, but it left many people stunned.
Upon sharing it on Twitter, one user questioned: “No f***ing way… is this post real?”
Another user added: “Just like all MAGAts, you’re all into conspiracy theories. Do you think the earth is flat as well? Just wondering.”
Some saw the post as Trump mocking the ailing Biden. One commenter noted: “Trump is a legendary troll.”
Previously, on May 19, Trump had posted on Truth Social, expressing his and Melania’s sadness about Biden’s medical diagnosis, extending well-wishes to Joe and his family for a speedy recovery.
During a May 30 press conference in the Oval Office, when asked about Biden’s diagnosis, Trump described Biden as ‘somewhat vicious’.
“[Biden’s] been a sort of moderate person over his lifetime,” Trump remarked. “Not a smart person, but a somewhat vicious person, I will say.”
He further commented: “If you feel sorry for him, don’t feel so sorry, because he’s vicious. What he did with his political opponent and all of the people that he hurt – he hurt a lot of people, Biden, so I really don’t feel sorry for him.”
