The aide then asks a question that appears to play into the theory that pop star Taylor Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce is part of a plot to rig the NFL’s championship game and help get Biden re-elected in November.
“Deviously plotting to rig the season so the Chiefs would make the Super Bowl or the Chiefs just being a good football team?” the aide asks, to which Biden replies, “I’d get in trouble if I told you.”
After that, an image of Biden with beaming red laser eyes flashes across the screen, in reference to the “Dark Brandon” meme that the president’s campaign has decided to
embrace
.
“Dark Brandon” is the Biden campaign’s attempt to troll conservatives by combining the famous “
Let’s Go Brandon
” meme and the phrase “Dark MAGA,” which Trump supporters use while calling on former President Donald Trump to run an even more bold campaign in 2024.
The “Dark Brandon” meme also features eyes made of red laser beams, in reference to another meme that reportedly started among supporters of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
Biden’s TikTok video concludes with the aide asking, “Trump or Biden?” to which the president replies by laughing, adding, “Are you kidding? Biden.”
The Biden-Harris campaign’s TikTok account arrives on the heels of the Chinese app being banned from most U.S. government devices, as TikTok is considered a national security threat by U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
On Thursday, the 81-year-old president
confused
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as “the president of Mexico” following the release of a damning report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who revealed he wasn’t recommending charges against Biden in his classified documents case, because the president is, in part, a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
While Biden tries to win over younger voters on an app owned by a hostile foreign country, the president’s age and relentless gaffes have been a major concern for voters of all ages. Opinion polling suggests that up to 75 percent of voters think Biden is too old to be president.
Some surveys have even found Biden trailing behind Trump among younger voters.
