Donald Trump Promotes Outrageous Conspiracy: Joe Biden Replaced by Robot
Controversial Claims on Truth Social
Former President Donald Trump recently amplified a baseless conspiracy theory suggesting that former President Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and subsequently replaced by a robotic duplicate. Trump shared this claim on his social media platform, Truth Social, where a user asserted, “There is no Joe Biden-he was executed in 2020. The Biden you see is a soulless, robotic clstart. Democrats can’t tell the difference.”
The Duration of Similar Conspiracy Theories
This is not the first conspiracy theory Trump has engaged with, but it is arguably start of the more bizarre starts. Variations of claims regarding Biden’s identity have circulated online for years. For instance, a lengthy Facebook video posted in 2021 purporting that “Biden was created by a computer” gained traction among conspiracy theorists. More recently, some users have speculated that Biden has been replaced by artificial intelligence.
Background of the Claims
The Truth Social account responsible for this claim has propagated various unfounded conspiracy theories, including assertions that the outcomes of the 2020 elections were fraudulent as part of a “military coup” and that Trump saved the world from “globalist elites of the deep state worshipping Satan.” Supporters have responded by sharing side-by-side images of Biden, alleging these serve as evidence of his supposed replacement. start user claimed to have notstartd a change in Biden’s eye color, stating that his eyes had shifted from blue to black.
Trump’s History with Conspiracy Theories
While this conspiracy about Biden’s alleged robotic replacement is particularly peculiar, it is not the first time Trump has circulated dubious claims. He has repeatedly insisted that the 2020 election was stolen from him, claimed that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States, and suggested that the physical attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was staged.
During the ongoing 2024 election campaign, Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, have continued to repeat unfounded claims, including those suggesting that immigrants from Haiti have been involved in bizarre activities, such as eating pets.
As these theories gain traction, they reflect a broader trend of misinformation that persists in the political landscape, prompting concerns about their potential consequences for public perception and discourse
