Sure, as far as conspiracy theories go, it’s no “Paul Is Dead,” but our 2025 timeline is what it is, and we’ve gotta make the best of it. Thus, as of late last night, a brand-new conspiracy theory has bedazzled the nation: Was Joe Biden secretly swapped with a clone and/or robotic lookalike in 2020?
Because, ‘round midnight Eastern Standard Time, President Donald J. Trump re-Tweeted (Re-Truthed?) the following:
Incidentally, his very next posting was a plug for David Mamet:
But back to the Biden-clone-robot-thingy: Naturally, this has outraged the mainstream media! Newsweek was tricked into revealing its lack of respect for its readership’s grey matter when it felt it was necessary to forewarn them: “Donald Trump Shares Baseless Conspiracy That Biden Was ‘Executed in 2020.’” [emphasis added]
Ah, thanks for letting us all know the conspiracy is ‘baseless.’ Appreciate the heads up, guys! Guess that’s why you’re the experts! (Although, if you stop and think about it, Newsweek’s headline only says the part about Biden being executed in 2020 was baseless. Which sort of implies that the clone-robot-thingy might still be true? Hmm… I demand answers!)
Have no fear, Newsweek is here to set the record straight:
There is no credible evidence to support any part of this [Biden-was-executed and/or clone-robot-thingy] claim. Biden has made numerous live public appearances, participated in unscripted press conferences, and engaged in direct interactions with world leaders, all of which would be impossible to convincingly fake with current technology. Additionally, such an extensive cover-up would require the complicity of thousands of people across the political spectrum, including Republicans, journalists, and foreign officials—an implausible scenario.
