President Joe Biden appeared to be trolling Republicans and conspiracy theorists soon after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
The president’s official social media account on X posted an eyebrow-raising message seeming to imply that there was truth to the Super Bowl conspiracy theory that the game was rigged, captioning the post, “Just like we drew it up.”
“Joe Biden has shared a ‘Dark Brandon’ meme implying he and Taylor Swift plotted to have the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl” the Daily Mail explained. “The image shows the president with red lasers as eyes, with the name coming from a meme that originally started out as a right-wing slogan, ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ – coded to stand in for ‘F*** Joe Biden.'”

Swift was at the game and could be seen cheering on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Democrats are anticipating an endorsement of Biden from the mega-pop star.
Ahead of the game, the Biden campaign kicked off a TikTok account with a video that also had the president mocking the conspiracy theory.
Asked a series of Super Bowl-related questions, the president was shown replying with short responses which his supporters ate up. Asked if he preferred the Chiefs or 49ers, Biden replied,“if I didn’t say that I was for the Eagles then I would be sleeping alone. My wife’s a Philly girl.”
“Jason Kelce or Travis Kelce?” Biden was asked, to which he replied, “Mama Kelce. I understand that she makes great chocolate chip cookies.”
In the final question, Biden was asked, “Deviously plotting to rig the season so the Chiefs would make the Super Bowl or the Chiefs being just a good football team?”
“I’d get in trouble if I told you,” the president quipped as the camera cut to a shot of “Dark Brandon.”

Former President Donald Trump weighed in on a possible endorsement of Biden by Swift, who backed the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.
“I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. “There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”
Naturally, Biden supporters found the post with the Dark Brandon meme hilarious, with many on X applauding his “next level trolling” and that “Kansas City should legit give you a super bowl ring.”
Others, however, offered more of a reality check.
Joking around when our economy is in the toilet and border invaded isn’t funny.
Millions of Americans are suffering for real every day because of Biden.
It’s insulting AF for this administration not to take any of that seriously.
Real lives are being ruined unnecessarily.

It feels fitting that Biden would endorse the “dark Brandon” meme just as he leads the West towards a new dark age, supporting genocidal wars, destroying the foundations of international law, breaking the world into competing blocs and promoting an Orwellian post-truth ideology. https://t.co/TiaHoZU4Ra

@JoeBiden couldn’t plot his way out of a portapotty with directions.

After rigging an election, the Super Bowl was no problem. 😂

Which Biden staffer thought this Dark Brandon post was a good idea?
The level of incompetence and stupidity that surrounds Biden is breathtaking. pic.twitter.com/N2cBGNHUzK

I STILL want to know why Democrats seem to think that making America GREAT again is BAD?!
I am PROUDLY MAGA (and a Trump supporter)!
Biden and the Democrats (with the help of George Soros) have RUINED our once great nation!
I’ve had it with Bidenomics, Illegal Alien INVASIONS, and Democrats STEALING elections!
