President Donald Trump confirmed a new portrait featuring former President Joe Biden’s autopen device will be featured in a new “Presidential Wall of Fame” being constructed in the Rose Garden.
Trump revealed his unconventional picture to memorialize Biden when asked about the presidential portrait gallery.
“Isn’t that an interesting question,” Trump said. “We put up a picture of the autopen.”
“This is going to be very controversial,” the president said, trolling the media.
It stems from Trump’s ongoing criticism of Biden’s extensive use of the autopen, a mechanical device that replicates presidential signatures on official documents. Trump launched a formal investigation into Biden’s autopen usage earlier this year, with the White House announcing in July that tens of thousands of documents had been turned over by the National Archives Records Administration.
“He didn’t win the race. He lost badly. He was a horrible president, but can you imagine, he says he has Stage 9 cancer. That was, what? Two, three months ago?” Trump said.
The former president’s health diagnosis has become a political flashpoint, with conservative activists accusing Democrats of engaging in a cover-up on Biden’s mental soundness during his final months in office.
Biden has vigorously defended his use of the autopen and his mental capacity.
The autopen controversy has drawn particular attention from Trump administration officials investigating Biden’s presidential practices. Senior administration sources have questioned the scope and authorization of Biden’s autopen usage, particularly regarding which documents received personal presidential approval versus mechanical signing.
“What did the former president direct, versus what he did not,” one Trump administration official said. “The only time a legitimate use of the autopen should happen is if the president said he wanted something done, or if he was asked for his approval.”
