President Donald Trump’s second term has been marked by the promotion of several conspiracy theories, many of which have influenced policy decisions and public discourse. Here’s an overview of the most prominent theories he has endorsed or amplified in 2025:
1. Biden Autopen Scandal
Trump has alleged that former President Joe Biden was mentally unfit during his presidency and that his aides used an autopen to sign official documents, including pardons. He claims this undermines the legitimacy of those actions and has ordered a Department of Justice investigation into the matter.
What Trump Imagined
He pictured a shadowy D.C. basement, where Joe Biden’s aides huddled around a dusty autopen machine, cackling as it robo-signed pardons for everyone from Hunter to the neighbour’s goldfish. That’s when Trump had his bombshell moment: Biden was so “mentally unfit” during his presidency that his team turned to this haunted office gadget to keep the country running. “It’s fraud, folks, big-league fraud!” Trump bellowed at a Mar-a-Lago dinner, waving a magnifying glass like a detective in a noir fever dream. He’s ordered the Department of Justice to launch a full-scale “Autopen-gate” investigation, complete with SWAT teams raiding Staples for evidence. Sources say they’re also dusting Biden’s old staple remover for fingerprints. The pardons? Invalid. The Constitution? Shaken. The office supply industry? Thriving. Trump smiles. It’s a “gotcha” moment.
2. Biden Clone Theory
In a particularly bizarre claim, Trump shared a conspiracy theory suggesting that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone. This unfounded theory has been widely criticised and lacks any credible evidence.
What Trump Imagined
Hold onto your MAGA hats, because Trump went full sci-fi. In a claim so wild it makes The Matrix look like a documentary, Trump amplified whispers that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone programmed by – well, nobody’s sure, but Trump was convinced it was funded by George Soros. “Look at those stiff walks, nobody walks like that unless they’re powered by Duracell!” he mused. He promptly belted out a tweet, sharing a blurry photo of Biden tripping on Air Force One. “The fake media will lie, and point out there’s zero evidence for this, but that won’t stop me from demanding a national “clone audit.” I’ll get Secret Service agents to poke Biden with USB drives to see if he reboots,” he tells his loyal press secretary. Coming soon to reality TV: Trump vs. Robo-Joe, live in 3D!
3. Deep State Allegations
Continuing from his first term, Trump has intensified rhetoric about a “deep state” conspiracy, asserting that a hidden network within the government seeks to undermine his administration. Despite initiating actions like firing federal employees and declassifying documents, tangible evidence supporting these claims remains elusive.
What Trump Imagined
Trump’s old reliable, the “deep state,” is back and bigger than ever – like a Netflix reboot nobody asked for. He claimed a secret cabal of bureaucrats, baristas, and probably your high school guidance counselor is plotting to sabotage his administration. “They’re everywhere, folks, hiding in the memos!” he warned during a 2 a.m. X rant. His solution? Fire half the federal workforce, declassify every document since the Magna Carta, and install lie detectors in the White House cafeteria. Evidence? Pfft, who needs it when you’ve got vibes? The deep state’s so deep, apparently, it’s got its own submarine fleet parked under the Potomac. Watch out, paper-pushers – Trump’s coming for you with a red pen and a flashlight.
4. White Genocide in South Africa
Trump has revived the debunked “white genocide” conspiracy theory, claiming that white farmers in South Africa are being systematically targeted. This narrative has been criticised for promoting white nationalist sentiments and lacks substantiated evidence.
What Trump Imagined
In a plot twist straight out of a bad dystopian novel, Trump’s revived the debunked “white genocide” conspiracy, claiming South African white farmers are being hunted like it’s The Purge: Apartheid Edition. “Terrible things happening, folks, nobody’s talking about it!” he tweeted, conveniently ignoring that nobody’s talking about it because it’s not true. Critics have slammed this as a dog whistle for white nationalists, but Trump’s doubled down, proposing to airlift South African farmers to Iowa for “safety.” Local farmers were confused, Iowa’s cornfields were nervous, and Trump’s latest business venture is already selling “Save the Boer” tokens. Evidence? Still on backorder, but Trump’s got a PowerPoint ready for his next media briefing.
5. QAnon and Related Theories
While not directly endorsing QAnon (he used up all his endorsements while campaigning in 2024), Trump’s administration has been associated with figures who support or propagate related conspiracy theories. These narratives often involve unfounded claims about elite cabals and have been integrated into certain political discourses.
What Trump Imagined
Trump hasn’t officially endorsed QAnon, but his administration’s like a Coachella for conspiracy influencers. From cryptic X posts to advisors who sound like they moonlight on 8kun, the Q vibes are strong. Think elite cabals, secret handshakes, and probably a lizard person or two running the Federal Reserve. “I don’t know much about Q, but I hear they’re great patriots!” Trump mused at a presser, while an aide whispered, “Sir, that’s the catering guy.” These theories have wormed their way into policy talks, with one GOP strategist overheard pitching a “QAnon Caucus” to “own the libs.” The result? A political discourse that feels like a Reddit rabbit hole, minus the votes.
The Grand Finale: Why Stop at Reality?
Trump’s 2025 conspiracy carnival proves one thing: when you’re the ringmaster, facts are just suggestions. From autopen scandals to clone cover-ups, his second term has turned the White House into a 24/7 conspiracy convention, complete with tinfoil hats and a merchandise table. Policy? Influenced. Public discourse? Deranged. The American people? Wondering if they accidentally subscribed to InfoWars. As Trump keeps tossing these theories into the X-osphere, one thing’s clear: the only thing deeper than the deep state is the hole he’s digging for rational thought. Stay tuned for the next act – rumour has it, he’s got a theory about Martians running the EPA.

Trump and other MAGA’s are certainly obsessed by Biden, his family and his time in office.
Yes, Biden have been “losing it” a bit towards the end, but I’d argue that Trump is already there. Arguing that Biden is to blame for the shithole that the US is in now, when any sensible analysis says that Trump’s policies and actions are to blame, really says a lot about how MAGA’s think.
QAnon is allegedly ‘mad Moscow’ Mike Flynn who also chummy with Putin, and like Kushner’s ‘investment fund’, has business relations with MBS’ Saudi*, in former’s case, nuclear energy; Saudi interests are also majority (?) owners of Grok and in turn ‘Musk’s’ X…..
Some very serious grifting going on in the background……
*Also linked to Netanyahu and their proposed ‘Abraham Accords’ which were literally blown up on October 7……
