President Donald Trump is making headlines once again—this time for reposting a fringe conspiracy theory on his Truth Social platform that falsely claims President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced by a clone or robotic double.

The bizarre claim, originally shared by a lesser-known user, alleges that Biden was secretly executed and that the individual currently serving as president is an imposter. Trump’s repost did not include a caption or clarification, but the act of sharing the post has drawn swift criticism online and in the media.

Since the bombshell claims surfaced, some people have alleged that Truth Social has gone down however, reports indicate that there are no current problems with Truth Social.

The surfacing of this conspiracy theory comes at a sensitive time. Just recently, Biden publicly confirmed a serious cancer diagnosis, prompting an outpouring of public concern and well-wishes. Many observers now view Trump’s move as both untimely and irresponsible, especially given the heightened emotions surrounding Biden’s health.

This Reddit thread dives deeper into the conspiracy, with many people taking to the comments to discuss this unfounded assertion, which has sparked widespread criticism and concern, particularly given its timing.

Although conspiracy theories are nothing new in politics, the amplification of such extreme and baseless narratives by a former president raises serious questions. Misinformation about public figures—especially sitting presidents—can erode trust in democratic institutions and fuel confusion among voters. Experts warn that content like this, even when shared without direct endorsement, contributes to a broader ecosystem of disinformation.

Fact-checkers and media outlets have been quick to debunk the claim, labeling it unequivocally as false. Biden has made multiple public appearances since 2020, and there is zero evidence to support any part of the alleged theory.

While the internet continues to react, the incident underscores the ongoing tension between free expression, platform responsibility, and the role of political leaders in shaping public discourse.
