Trump Says White House Will Display ‘Biden Autopen’ Portrait Within Two Weeks

The announcement shifts a records-focused review of Biden’s autopen signatures into overt White House stagecraft.

Overview

  • In a Daily Caller interview published Monday, Trump showed mock-ups and said a black-and-white "Biden Autopen" portrait for a new Presidential Wall of Fame will be unveiled in about two weeks.
  • The precise location remains unsettled, with Trump referencing the Rose Garden as media note portraits waiting to be hung along the West Colonnade.
  • The plan overlays ongoing inquiries into autopen use, as the administration in July announced a review and officials said the National Archives provided tens of thousands of related records.
  • Biden has rejected claims that he was unaware of actions signed by autopen, stating he made the presidential decisions and calling the allegations ridiculous and false.
  • Trump also mocked Biden’s cancer diagnosis by incorrectly referring to "Stage Nine" cancer, and reporting notes the autopen has precedent under prior presidents and a 2005 DOJ opinion permitting delegated signature affixation.
