Joe Biden’s recent cheerful demeanor during Donald Trump’s visit to the Oval Office has ignited a wave of conspiracy theories regarding his actions in the 2024 election. Critics are suggesting that the president may have secretly favored Trump over his own vice president, Kamala Harris.
The meeting, which took place on November 13, featured a jovial Biden greeting Trump—a stark contrast to the lack of cordiality shown by Trump in 2020 when transitioning power to Biden. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre characterized the discussion as “substantive,” focusing on key issues like national security and domestic policy.
Observers noted Biden’s broad smile as he welcomed Trump back to the White House, a sight that stirred up various theories about the president’s voting intentions. Notably, popular podcaster Joe Rogan weighed in, expressing a belief that Biden was delighted during his interaction with Trump, even suggesting he might have voted for him. Rogan stated, “I’ve never seen that dude so happy in his f—— life. He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”
Rogan compared Biden’s reception of Trump to former President Barack Obama’s reaction after Trump’s victory in 2016, noting the distinct difference in emotions. He remarked on Biden’s warm welcoming, implying that it was reminiscent of a controversial figure despite Biden’s previous criticisms of Trump.
However, Rogan wasn’t alone in this line of thought. Mary Trump, the niece of the former president, raised concerns over the incoming Trump administration, accusing Biden and the Democratic Party of complicity in a potential rise of fascism. She urged Democrats to stop adhering to outdated norms, arguing that the current political climate warranted a reassessment of traditional practices surrounding the transfer of power.
Her comments echoed throughout social media, where she emphasized the need for the party to confront the serious implications of their actions. The evolving narrative around Biden’s demeanor during this crucial meeting continues to captivate observers in a politically charged environment.
