Overview

• On June 1, President Trump reposted a fringe Truth Social message alleging Joe Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced by robotic clones without adding any commentary.
• The conspiracy theory lacks credible evidence and contradicts Biden’s numerous live public appearances, unscripted press events and meetings with world leaders.
• Critics across the political spectrum condemned the repost as baseless and warned it undermines public trust in factual reporting.
• Last month, Biden announced a stage-4 metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis and has since emphasized his ongoing treatment and optimistic prognosis.
• The White House declined to comment on the conspiracy theory while House Republicans press inquiries into Biden’s use of an autopen for official signatures.
