On June 1, 2025, President Donald Trump shared a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, promoting a conspiracy theory that President Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone. The post, originating from an obscure user, claimed, “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.”
This action by Trump has drawn widespread criticism and concern from political observers and experts. The White House has not issued an official response to the post.
The conspiracy theory has gained traction among some of Trump’s supporters, leading to a surge of memes and online discussions. However, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that President Biden has been replaced by a clone or robot. Human cloning remains scientifically unfeasible, and President Biden has made numerous public appearances and speeches since 2020.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of Trump promoting unfounded conspiracy theories. In the past, he has made baseless claims about various topics, including the legitimacy of the 2020 election and the use of autopen signatures by President Biden.
Critics argue that such actions by Trump contribute to the spread of misinformation and undermine public trust in democratic institutions. The promotion of conspiracy theories by prominent political figures can have significant implications for public discourse and the political climate in the United States.
