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.

    Clearly. As non-US person, clearly see this whole US political shit like a reality-show, so there is no room for this kind of thing in my memory.

      As non-US person, we watched the Superbowl in anguish, fearing a win for SF would directly lead to a Trump win and a destruction of the current world order!

            Damn I guess I like KC now.

            Actually I like whoever is the most fun to watch. I like Seattle for that reason, and I liked KC when it was Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.

            Whatever is fun to watch. That’s whats most important.

            Well soon Taylor Swift is gonna dump Kelce for flipping shit at his coach… This guy is too hot headed for a smart girl like Taylor.

            Then the Chiefs won’t be woke anymore.
