Trump Swaps Biden Portrait for Autopen Image in New White House Gallery

The display advances Trump's effort to cast doubt on Biden's late‑term decision‑making.

Overview

  • The White House posted a video on X unveiling a new presidential "Walk of Fame" along the colonnade leading to the Oval Office.
  • In the gallery, a photograph of a signature machine stands in for Joe Biden's portrait between photos of Trump from his first and second terms.
  • The autopen image is labeled with Biden's name and his term dates, 2021 to 2025, according to the government release.
  • Trump has alleged Biden staff used an autopen for official documents, including late pardons, and in June he ordered an inquiry into whether Biden's circle misled the public about his mental state.
  • Biden has called the allegations ridiculous and false, and reporting notes that autopen use is common in presidential practice.
