The post appeared to reference recent right-wing conspiracy theories featuring the pop star Taylor Swift.

President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    The cancer is spreading and metastasising. Instead of cutting out the cancer, or using chemo, they are bragging about curing the ear infection. Great analogy, thank you.

      The cancer is spreading and metastasising.

      Based on what metric? Homelessness? Because that is far from the only metric for an economy.

        It’s a pretty important one, especially to the people that are becoming homeless.

          “It’s a pretty important one” does not make it the sole metric to base an improving economy on, nor does it mean that Biden is claiming everything is fine. So you really have no point here.

          Again, your claim-

          Because he’s the president who’s trying to convince us that everything is fine?

          Not only have you not supported it, you found an article that contradicted it.

          He is specifically not telling people that everything is fine, and the first article you provided proved that.

          So I guess this is a “what are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?” situation. Believe it or not, I’m choosing my own eyes.

              It generally does, yes. Weirdly, the whole “believe what I say even though I showed you the exact opposite thing” isn’t especially convincing as arguments go.

                  The Biden Administration that explicitly said things aren’t going well in the link you provided for me to “prove” that Biden said the opposite of that? Yes, they are doing that well.

                  I love how you are just pretending your link didn’t contradict you. It’s pretty damn funny.
