Overview

• Trump reposted a Truth Social message late Saturday claiming Joe Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced by “clones” and “robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.”
• The original conspiracy stemmed from a QAnon-linked account and drew no additional commentary from Trump beyond the reshared post.
• Major news outlets and experts quickly refuted the claim, citing Biden’s live public appearances, unscripted press events, and diplomatic engagements.
• Critics warn that amplifying such falsehoods risks deepening political polarization and undermining public trust in democratic institutions.
• Despite widespread condemnation, the White House has offered no formal comment even as House Republicans probe Biden’s health disclosures and autopen use following his prostate cancer diagnosis.
