There's also a Fox News link:

From that article:
"President Donald Trump shared a post on social media this weekend claiming that President Joe Biden died in 2020 and was replaced with clones.
Trump shared a link to the post from his personal account on Truth Social on Saturday. The post originated from a small account on the platform responding to discussions about Biden's health.
"There is no Joe Biden executed in 2020," the post says. "Biden clones, doubles and robotic engineered soulless, mindless entities are what you see."
TRUMP IS MENTALLY ILL. Now, if Democrats were going to go to the trouble to replace Biden by any means, wouldn't they have picked a virile, strong, quick-witted model? Because all the Republicans have done is criticize Biden the last four years for being feeble and old.
This is straight up QAnon crap that Trump is posting. I follow an old high school classmate for entertainment purposes because she is full blow QAnon, and she's been posting the cloning crap for several years. NOW, the President of the United States is posting this shit.
WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT?

(16,965 posts)A break is going to be coming, it's just a matter of how much more crap he puts out there. Republicans are going to have to start seeing that most of us - even some dimwitted Trumpers - don't fall for stupid shit like this. If they don't want a blood bath in the midterms, something has to give.
OR, in the alternative - if the midterms are already fixed, etc., then the Republicans may not care. While I do not rationally believe that Biden is a clone or that we have that capability at this point in time - I DO think that election returns have the possibility of being manipulated. I can't prove that they have been, but I fully believe that possibility exists. And that concerns me.
Peace.

(150,609 posts)I believe it is Trump's cabinet that has to do that. Are they on board do you think?
Here's a link to the 25th Amendment. Worth taking a look, I think:

(129,013 posts)Does anybody seriously think that's going to happen? Vance would probably be happy to do it, but Trump's cabinet members know Vance would quickly sack them and replace them with his own toadies. Since none of those losers is qualified for a real job - they couldn't be competent night managers at a 7-11 - there's no way they'll want to 86 47.

(150,609 posts)Nobody cares any more about how things have to work.
We can just impeach Trump, and that's that, right? Well, we already did that twice and the Senate wouldn't convict him. Maybe we could have just elected Hillary Clinton instead and skipped all that.
Now, we can just invoke the 25th Amendment, since impeachment won't work. Except nobody has bothered to look to see how that happens. That won't work, either, and it takes a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress, not just the Senate. Maybe we could have elected Kamala Harris instead?
Maybe we should make a new constitutional amendment. That only takes both houses of congress and a shit pile of states. That ought to be easy, right?
Maybe we need to work on that whole election thing, instead of clamoring to do things that can't work. I mean....
hamsterjill
(16,965 posts)Sounds really sinister, doesn't it? But are we really and truly going to let our democracy of 250 years be destroyed by an insane, reality television star? That's the real question.
So, I don't know how this is going to play out. It may very well be that it's too late and we are doomed. But I am hoping that SOMEONE does something. There are a lot of smart people in this world - lawyers and scholars and military commanders - who know a lot more about this than I (nor anyone on an internet message board) could ever presume to know. Dare I hope? I don't know.
The 25th Amendment is in the Constitution for a reason. Maybe someone, somewhere, sometime could get a little "creative".
Forgive me - in all seriousness - for daring to hope that my country and my way of life continue - because at this rate, with this crazy idiot in charge, it most assuredly will not.

(60,775 posts)If Biden has died in 2020, it means that many people, Democrat and Republican, politicians, world leaders, and media were deceived by a replacement. Not to mention, Jill and the entire very close Biden family were part of this.
Not to mention, who was President in 2020 when the execution and the coverup happened?
hamsterjill
(16,965 posts)The cloning is supposed to be the result of extraterrestrial alien technology. I kid you not. As I stated in my OP, I follow a full-blown QAnoner just for shits and giggles, and she's been posting this crap since way before the pandemic.
There are supposed to be major medical advances, too, that keep being promised, but so far, none have been delivered that I see.
A little off topic, but the sad reality....
Said QAnoner actually has a PhD in psychology. I kid you not yet again!!!
She was quite popular when we were in high school, and she has a friend from that era who just idolizes her. The friend has cancer. I think the friend desperately wants to believe the stuff about medical advances as she wants treatment and cure. I don't see that happening, and I find it sad that the QAnoner continues to give false hope to the friend who idolizes her.
So, there ARE real issues when all of this stupid shit gets thrown around like it's the gospel.
Someone needs to put a stop to it.

(78,610 posts)As disgusting as he is, the felon understands how to place a nonsense distraction into public discussion. And that is all -- 100% -- of the reason he said this. It is not a symptom of "mental illness" -- it is him playing people.
hamsterjill
(16,965 posts)He is such the narcissist that I firmly believe HE BELIEVES that if he says something enough, people believe it. THAT is mental to me. He can't discern the truth from lies.
He is a master at playing people, no doubt. But this, in my opinion, was a dangerous move on his part. He always pushes the envelope to see what he can get away with, and he is emboldened to push further as he does get away with stuff.
But THIS is ridiculous.
H2O Man
(78,610 posts)What I think is important here is the "quality" of his attempted distraction, and what he is attempting to distract the news cycle from covering. It could have to do with Musk leaving, or something else. But it was purposeful.
We know that his vocabulary is greatly reduced since 2016. That is one way to document his mental decline. Yet, his sociopathy remains consistent, hence the latest nonsense. Perhaps next he will claim that if one plays the Beatles' white album backwards, it proves Paul McCartney was replaced by Hunter Biden's laptop.

(1,221 posts)but wouldn't the Trumpers be on all the Sunday shows saying he was hacked and the post is not his? I don't know anymore what to think. None of this whole Trump era makes sense. The only thing I know for sure is that he is not mentally sound and that he demonstrates that every day. Not one damn thing is done about it. We are all at risk.

(174,824 posts)trump is truly nuts and it is time for the 25th Amendment
Donald Trump Saturday evening reposted an online message from someone claiming that former President Joe Biden was "executed in 2020" and replaced by a clone.
— Raw Story (@rawstory.com) 2025-06-01T02:45:54.245Z
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-shares-biden-executed-conspiracy/
The president took to his own social media site, Truth Social, over the weekend, first to withdraw his own nominee to head NASA and then to repost the anonymous comment.
Trump reposted a statement by a user identified as @llijh, with a bio that reads, "Christian JesusChrist is Lord & Savior WETHEPEOPLE."
"There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020," the post states. "#Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see."
The user then added, "#Democrats dont know the difference."

(638 posts)but he's not dumb, and that is the mistake most people make when evaluating him. HE IS TROLLING. I keep seeing posts here where folks are in complete histrionics over some dumb thing he said. He's an attention whore and, most importantly, he trolls to deflect and divert attention.
Next time he says something seemingly unhinged, try to figure out what they DON'T want you paying attention to.... There is something else going on that he is pulling you off of.
hamsterjill
(16,965 posts)Hes a bully and a con man and used to getting his way through intimidation and having other people figure things out for him. Trump the individual is NOT intelligent.
No doubt he IS trying to deflect from something. Thats always the case.
But with regard to just THIS stupid post he made, Dems should pounce on it and use it to show hes unhinged.
