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.

        being ad-hominemed isn’t a consequence of my actions

        if you don’t like being compared to Trump, stop doing things he does. But that’s not an ad hominem-- it’s a consequence of your actions.

        it’s a failing of my interlocutor to engage in good faith

        blaming others for your poor behavior is engaging in bad faith. accusing them of what you, yourself, are doing is projection and hypocritical.

        just like Trump
