Is this the Babylon Bee or a message from above? However ominously bizarre, it’s apparently legit.

President Biden’s rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation.

Biden spent Thanksgiving on the ritzy Massachusetts island with his family last week. The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.

Footage shows firefighters spraying down the smoldering remains of one vehicle’s engine block. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.

What. On. Earth?!

It could have gotten really bad really fast if a sharp-eyed employee hadn’t noticed the flames.

…The vehicles were parked at the Nantucket airport and the blaze reportedly spread to just 40 feet away from the facility’s jet fuel tanks. It is currently unknown what caused the fire. Fox News reached out to the White House for information, but they did not immediately respond.

“At approximately 5:22 am Airport shift staff observed an active fire in the rental car overflow area through the Airport’s Closed Circuit Television System,” the airport said in a statement to the Current. “Staff activated the Alert system and responded to the fire in Airport-3, where they were met by responding units from Nantucket Fire Department and Nantucket Police Department.”

The local Cape Cod paper had nothing to add, only saying there were no reported injuries and:

…The cause of the fire is under investigation.

That is going to be one interesting peek under what’s left of the hood. All five vehicles accompanying the president mysteriously and spontaneously combust in the rental drop-off parking lot after he leaves?

Look at the video in this tweet from another local paper – the front of all the vehicles are roached. Too peculiar for words.

Where’s Miguel Almaguer when you need him?

As the Current kept digging into the story, a valuable safety lesson vice juicy conspiracy theory started to emerge, which will be hugely disappointing to everyone on Twitter SO sure this was another Biden mess mop-up operation (TAKE HEED, FORD EXPEDITION OWNERS)…

Hoot, mon – a battery fire is entirely plausible under those circumstances. Should this prove to be the culprit for the fire, considering what the battery recall is for…

…everyone should be hugely grateful no one was hurt and the vehicle wasn’t parked in or adjacent to an occupied building.

Or, you know, like, had POTUS and Doctor Jill strapped in the second row.

YOICKS

I’ll lay you money there are some pale faces at Ford HQ right now, slamming Pepcid and stabbing pins in voodoo dolls for traces of a Right Wing nut job to be found in the ashes.

In the meantime, while we wait for definitive word, your vehicle gets recalled?

Take care of it stat.
