Hours after President Joe Biden announced he will forgo seeking a second term on Sunday, billionaire Bill Ackman began pushing and amplifying conspiracy theories that speculated on the president's involvement in the decision to withdraw from the race.
Several of the posts claimed there was no proof Biden signed the letter himself, and a few looked for differences in Biden's signature on Sunday’s letter compared with his John Hancock that has adorned other documents in recent months.
Some of the posts, without evidence, claimed or suggested Biden—who has been recovering from COVID at his Delaware home over the past few days—was unaware he was making the decision himself.
“If I were China, I would invade Taiwan tomorrow,” Ackman fired off in one of the posts to his 1.3 million followers.
In another , he wrote: “If this were a hostage situation, that letter would not qualify as proof of life.”
