Trump-Musk Bromance implodes in epic public war on social media

Trump reposts that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a robot

The news from the USA last week began with the outrageous, followed by the potentially earth-shattering and the merely cynical. A responsible journalist would obviously start with the lead story that was of the most national importance. So, naturally, I thought I'll ease into the satirically entertaining news, and leave the serious stuff for later.

Last Saturday night, President Trump shared the most incredible Truth Social post in political history, claiming that former President Biden was “executed” in 2020, unbeknownst to the Democrats, and replaced by a robot:

“There is no #Joe Biden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. #Democrats don’t know the difference”.

Let me get this straight. Trump reposts, at that witching hour when his mind is unraveling more rapidly than usual, that Sleepy Old Joe had been executed before he was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. He was then replaced by a robot, manufactured in the guise of an even Sleepier Old Joe, who took the Oath of Office on January 20, 2021.

Even his wife, Jill, his cabinet and closest allies did not recognize the new Joe. However, with the literally new lease of a battery-operated life, robot Joe was rebooted to higher levels of electrical power and energy, which enabled him to perform two outstanding legislative years of his presidency. His wife had also been pleasantly surprised by a more galvanized performance in the presidential bedroom.

Sadly, the robot came with a battery life of only two years, after which poor robot Joe went into total physical and cognitive decline. The model did not come with a charger. The rest, as they say, is history. It all makes sense now.
