Trump’s New ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ Includes Autopen Photo In Place of Biden

The White House unveiled a “Presidential Walk of Fame” on the West Wing Colonnade featuring portraits of all former US presidents on Wednesday, and in place of President Biden’s portrait, a framed picture of an autopen was hung.

The Details: The photo shows an autopen writing Biden’s signature. The addition is the latest in a series of design changes, including landscaping changes in the Rose Garden and large new flagpoles, that President Trump has made at the White House during his second term.

For Context: Trump announced the plan to hang an autopen “portrait” weeks ago in an interview with The Daily Caller (Right). In May, Trump raised questions about Biden's use of autopen, suggesting that it might have been used without Biden's knowledge to enact policies during his presidency. The week after Trump’s inauguration in January, commentators Matt Taibbi (Center bias) and Tucker Carlson (Right) questioned whether the Biden administration used autopen during his presidency. Autopen has been used by multiple presidents as well as celebrities and other public figures for decades.

How The Media Covered It: CNN (Lean Left) wrote that “Biden’s advisers have denied any coordinated effort to conceal from the public his deteriorating condition during the final years of his presidency” and included a quote from Biden himself. Breitbart (Right) included the announcement X posts from the White House and Special Assistant to the President Margo Martin.
