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.

    Okay, then why associate it with him?

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

      A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.

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

        When has he done that?

        A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.

        Again, what can he do about this?

        He put forward a bill that ended up creating and will create a lot of jobs. He can’t control what people are paid in those jobs and he also cannot control rent and housing prices.

        You seem to be forgetting that this was about someone claiming they wanted a “functional adult” in the White House, followed by me pointing out a lot of things he’d accomplished and ‘functional’ does not mean ‘does everything you want.’

        And you basically chime in complaining that he isn’t doing everything you want.

          The problem here is you are asking someone that doesn’t really want an answer or likely to even be fixed they just want to say something loud and blame someone else.

          If it wasn’t this it’d be another bigger picture problem blamed one on individual.

            Is that supposed to be your proof of Biden trying to convince us that everything is fine?

            Because maybe you should have read the article to the end…

            “But for all we’ve done to bring prices down, there are still too many corporations in America ripping people off. Price gouging, junk feeds, greedflation, shrinkflation,” Biden added. “America – we’re tired of being played for suckers!”

            “Why aren’t people feeling good about this?” is pretty much the polar opposite of “convincing us that everything is fine”. Trying to understand why people aren’t fine despite economic “indicators” is exactly what I want a leader to do.

            being proud of the success of his economic policy != your claim.

            wanna try that again?

              Not really, the economy is still not working for the majority of people and he’s trying to convince us that it’s good. That is the end of my assertion.

                that’s your opinion and has nothing what Biden said nor whether he was “trying to convince” anyone of anything.

                now you’re just trying to change the subject because you got caught out.

                  I disagree. You’re trying to catch me slipping instead of engaging with what I’m saying. It’s pretty fucking repiblicanesque if you ask me.

        if the president doesn’t have the power to do anything, why are you so scared of how I’ll vote?
