This is olympic-level trolling!
The New York Times ran one of the most entertaining stories of the weekend, headlined, “Trump Amplifies Another Outlandish Conspiracy Theory: Biden Is a Robotic Clone.” It was classic Trump, playing the media like a harmonica.
The “news,” if you can call it that, was that President Trump re-posted a saucy comment from an unnamed Truth Social user accusing President Cabbage of having died in 2020 and been replaced by a robotic clone. The Times feels this sort of Presidential re-posting communication was mean, or undignified, or something, “the latest example of the president amplifying dark, false material.”
Somebody said something!
Trump’s superpower is creating irresistible catnip that forces the media to talk about things it desperately wants to avoid discussing. The post about Biden being replaced by a robot isn’t wrong per se— not if you consider the mechanical autopen to be a robot, enthusiastically issuing pardons, and appointing Supreme Court justices, and signing critical executive orders with stainless steel fingers while Biden napped.
Frankly, I trust the autopen’s judgment over Biden’s. It is probably more sentient than Joe or Uncle Bosey. That doesn’t make it right; I’m just saying. Anyway, the Times sneeringly dismissed Biden’s autopen scandal as a “specious theory.” Uh huh.
But the point is: they are talking about it. Point to Trump.
The Trump administration is trolling Democrats over their objection to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom construction, launching an official timeline of the White House’s history that includes top scandals that plagued former Democratic presidents’ administrations.
The White House website as of Thursday includes a “major events timeline” of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., stretching back to 1791, when plans for the iconic building were first mapped out. The timeline includes a series of benchmarks such as the addition of the north portico from 1829 to 1830, and the addition of the Oval Office in 1909 under the Taft administration and the “total reconstruction” of the White House interior under the Truman administration.
The timeline also includes a handful of high-profile scandals that rocked previous Democratic administrations.
“2023: Cocaine Discovered,” one slide on the White House’s website reads. “During Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby.”
“Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user,” the slide continues. “Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in 2019, which contains photos of frequent drug use alongside emails about foreign business dealings (Ukraine, China) involving his father, Joe, while he was Vice President.”
Former President Bill Clinton’s 1998 sex scandal with intern Monica Lewinsky and former President Barack Obama inviting a delegation of the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House in 2012 also were included on the official timeline.
“1998: Bill Clinton Scandal,” one slide reads. “President Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to White House perjury investigations. The Oval Office trysts fueled impeachment for obstruction.”
“2012: Muslim Brotherhood Visit,” another slide reads. Obama hosts “member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization by nearly a dozen nations.”
Another slide takes issue with former President Joe Biden’s administration recognizing International Transgender Day of Visibility on the same day as Easter in 2023. International Transgender Day of Visibility was created by activists more than 10 years ago and is celebrated each year on March 31, with the Biden administration acknowledging both holidays in 2024.
“2023-2024: The Biden/Harris administration hosts transexuals at the White House in 2023, and goes on to establish the ‘The Transgender Day of Visibility’ on the same day as Easter Sunday in 2024,” the slide reads.
I bet there will be at least 8 - 10 memes of this posted here in the next 48 hours.

Yeah, yeah...I know: "How can you really tell if he's just trolling vs being serious?"
Well, I say: Can't he do both?
