Trump Thinks He Knows Who Biden’s ‘Boss’ Is: Joe’s Not ‘Smart Enough to Be Doing This Stuff’

In the maelstrom of political discourse, where words and phrases become weapons, where narratives blur with the boundaries of fact and fiction, one term has ignited a storm of controversy – “conservative theory.” For many entrenched in the world of the establishment media, these words have become synonymous with “conspiracy theory,” a dismissive label that implies delusion or falsehood. (westernjournal.com) Yet, in the heart of this linguistic battleground, former President Donald Trump dared to tread, pushing a theory into the public’s gaze. A theory that’s left more than just conservatives pondering. As he addressed a crowd in New Hampshire, Trump raised an assertion that reverberated through the political landscape, casting doubt upon the reign of President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Barack Hussein Obama, a narrative that sparked a storm of reactions, including the label “conspiracy theory.”

The assertion that Trump made, a statement that would set tongues wagging in media circles, emanated from the crowd’s depths. (apnews.com) “It’s never been worse than it is now under crooked Joe Biden and, frankly, his boss, Barack Hussein Obama. … I think it’s his boss,” he proclaimed. In the arena of political intrigue, such words serve as tinder, and the spark of controversy ignited swiftly. Media outlets leapt to judgment, among them, NBC News, quick to affix the label of “conspiracy theory” to Trump’s words. Their narrative traced this theory back to a moment of intrigue, an interview from the year 2020, when Stephen Colbert sought the thoughts of Barack Obama. A single moment that would ripple through the corridors of the internet, capturing the imagination of those in what NBC terms “conservative corners.”

In the interview, Colbert posed a question that pierced the veneer of politics and touched the essence of a president’s yearning. (img1.wsimg.com) The query, “Do you miss being president?” And in that moment, Obama responded with words that sparked the ember of doubt. He mused that if he could serve as commander in chief by proxy, with an earpiece to receive whispered lines, he’d be “fine with that.” A casual comment, a fleeting thought, but it found its place in the tapestry of time and lingered in the shadows.

Trump, no stranger to controversy, pursued this narrative during his campaign trail in Iowa. (maristpoll.marist.edu) He ventured further into the realms of doubt, declaring, “I don’t believe [Biden’s] smart enough to be doing this stuff. … I believe it’s the people that are surrounding him.” His words cut through the political façade, causing ripples of reflection among the masses. In an interview with John Solomon, Trump revisited this theme, suggesting that Biden might be an unknowing vessel, remarking, “I don’t ever think he knows what’s going on.” Trump dared to question, to probe the realm of mental capability, and by doing so, he ignited a conversation that transcends political affiliations.

It’s a conversation that extends beyond the realm of political elites, beyond party lines, for it touches upon a concern held by many Americans. In 2021, a chorus of voices emerged, 124 retired admirals and generals, each lending their weight to a letter that raised concerns encompassing the presidency. Among the inquiries lay the question, “Who is in charge?” This wasn’t a narrative confined to a particular ideology; it resonated as a question that stirred the minds of many.

Surveys have yielded their testament to the prevalence of this doubt. According to an NPR/Marist poll in May, 62 percent of Americans expressed concern about Biden’s mental health. Another poll, more recent still, uncovered a staggering 77 percent, a vast majority of Americans, who believed that he was too old for a second term, a belief that echoed not solely among conservatives but even within the ranks of the Democratic Party.

The world we inhabit is far from the haven of stability it once was. The echoes of uncertainty reverberate through the corridors of power. (westernjournal.com) The stage is set with global challenges, a geopolitical minefield teetering on the brink of explosion. (westernjournal.com) From the perils of war in Ukraine to the tumultuous landscapes in Israel, from the omnipresent specter of inflation to the crisis unfolding at a border left exposed, and the harrowing plague of fentanyl that claims lives, the list extends into the dark abyss of uncertainty.

A sinister fog envelops us, shrouding us in uncertainty. (glonme.com) As we navigate this reality, questions linger, unvoiced fears cast their pall over our hopes, and a single query seizes our thoughts: “Something’s not right.” In the crucible of contemplation, possibilities emerge. Are our leaders driven by ignorance, their actions an unwitting descent into chaos? (biography.com) Or does a shadowy hand steer the wheel, orchestrating chaos with sinister intent?

The incongruities that defy reason cast shadows upon the tableau of our lives. (westernjournal.com) When faced with the inexplicable, the human spirit compels us to seek answers. (glonme.com) Questioning the narrative isn’t an act of rebellion; it’s an assertion of our very humanity. In a world where truths blur, it is our duty to discern. Is it any wonder, then, that as uncertainty looms, we ask questions, seeking understanding in the turbulent currents of life?

In our world of uncertainty and political convolution, theories emerge as beacons of inquiry. They may lack certitude, but they are not born of delusion. Among these theories, Trump’s proclamation echoes. He presents a theory, one that places Obama in a clandestine role. The scenario Trump portrays, while unverified, is not entirely unprecedented. It calls to mind the historical account of Edith Wilson, who assumed responsibility when President Woodrow Wilson’s stroke silenced him.

These are theories, not inescapable truths but avenues for exploration. In the realm of conjecture, the narrative dances between questions and answers. The fervor with which we label them “conspiracy theories” depends on the nuances of belief, the perspective from which we view them. Do we, as a society, categorize all theories as such until proven true? Or do we bestow this label selectively, reserving it for those theories we find unpalatable? (westernjournal.com)

This much is clear: if indeed, Joe Biden holds the reins of the nation’s destiny, it is an unsteady hand guiding the ship. (glonme.com) A resounding call emerges from the depths of these theories, regardless of their veracity – something needs to change. The stakes are higher than ever, for in the heart of doubt, the specter of a world conflict looms. (westernjournal.com) Whether we stand at the brink of World War III or teeter upon the precipice of salvation remains uncertain, but the urgency to act is clear.

As the theories swirl and doubts mount, a single certainty persists – change is needed. With that conviction, a challenge unfolds, and the question reverberates: Will we find our answers before it’s too late? The world watches, as uncertainty casts its shadow, and the clock counts down to a decision that may shape the course of nations.
