WASHINGTON D.C. – It has been revealed that the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, is a character created and portrayed by the master satirist Sacha Baron Cohen.
Sources close to the production of “Biden”, the latest project of the creator of Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, confirmed that the elaborate hoax has been going on for over a year, and that Cohen has been living a double life as both the President of the most powerful country in the world and a British comedian known for his outrageous pranks and characters.
“Joe Biden is the most challenging character I’ve ever done,” Cohen said in a statement. “I mean, he’s a walking punchline, but also a tragic figure, and the potential for chaos and confusion is endless. I’m having a blast, to be honest.“
The revelation has sent shockwaves through the political and entertainment worlds, as many people have been fooled by Cohen’s convincing portrayal of the 46th President of the United States.
“I can’t believe it,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “I mean, we knew Joe had his quirks, but we never suspected that he was a British comedian in disguise. We’re still trying to figure out how to spin this.“
According to sources, Cohen has been using sophisticated makeup, prosthetics, and voice modulation technology to transform himself into the 78-year-old Biden, and has been improvising his speeches, gaffes, and tweets in real time.
“It’s a high-wire act, for sure,” said a source who wished to remain anonymous. “Sacha has to constantly stay in character, even in private meetings with foreign leaders, or when he’s alone with his family. It’s like a Truman Show, but with a political twist.“
Reaction to the news has been mixed, with some fans of Cohen praising his audacity and creativity, while others feel betrayed and confused by the deception.
“I don’t know what to believe anymore,” said a voter who supported Biden in the 2020 election. “Was he really the best choice for the job, or just a prank gone too far? I feel like I’ve been trolled by the universe.”
Cohen, for his part, has no plans to retire the character of Biden any time soon, and is reportedly already planning his next character, rumored to be a Russian oligarch who becomes the CEO of Facebook.
“Stay tuned, folks,” he said with a wink. “The best is yet to come.”
In the meantime, the world is left to grapple with the fact that the most powerful man in the world is a fictional character played by a British comedian. At least it’s not a reality TV star, right?
