Just when many thought Donald Trump might be softening his stance toward President Joe Biden, the former president reminded everyone why his approach to political rivals remains as ruthless—and at times downright bizarre—as ever.
Last month, the nation was shaken when Biden’s office revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. The news sparked an outpouring of sympathy from across the political spectrum—including an unusually measured response from Trump himself.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest wishes to Jill and the family and hope for a swift recovery,” Trump posted on social media, sounding almost empathetic.
But that fleeting moment of grace was short-lived.
Just weeks later, Trump reignited controversy by sharing a wild conspiracy theory on his social media platform, Truth Social. The post, originally from an anonymous user, claimed that Biden had actually been executed back in 2020—and since then replaced by “clones, doubles,” or even “robotic, engineered, soulless, mindless entities.”
In true Trump fashion, the shocking allegation leaves the political world stunned and wondering: what will he say next?
Despite being completely divorced from logic, reason, or any shred of evidence, Trump chose to amplify the bizarre theory to his nearly 10 million followers—without offering a single word of context or explanation.
And that was just the beginning.
In a fiery tirade seemingly designed to deepen political divides at a time when American unity is hanging by a thread, Trump unleashed a blistering attack on Biden’s administration, branding key figures as outright “scum.”
“Happy Memorial Day to all,” Trump began on Truth Social.
“Including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds, who allowed 21 million people to illegally enter our country—many criminals and mentally unstable—through an open border only an incompetent president would approve. And through judges on a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, and released prisoners in our country so they can rob, murder, and rape again—all protected by USA-hating judges suffering from a sick and dangerous ideology.”
Spreading wild, unfounded conspiracy theories is nothing new for Trump and his followers—though the idea of Biden being replaced by clones or robots certainly pushes the envelope even for them.
Few need reminding of Trump’s relentless and unyielding claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him—a narrative he continues to defend fiercely. Not to mention his past allegations that former President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, which he later walked back.
And who could forget his 2024 campaign claim that Haitian immigrants were “eating the pets” of American citizens?
Yeah, that happened.
