tl;dr: Trump and Musk are blaming Biden for "stranding" two astronauts on the space station. The reality is that their return craft has been docked since September and they weren't scheduled to come home until February anyway. That return was pushed back until April because SpaceX delayed the launch of the upcoming crew.

So tell me, Mr. Musk... why did YOU strand our astronauts in space?
