Overview

  • A new portrait lineup along the West Wing Colonnade shows all presidents, with Joe Biden represented by a photo of an autopen signing his name.
  • The autopen image sits between Donald Trump’s portraits as the 45th and 47th president, highlighted in videos posted by White House accounts.
  • Trump previewed the choice in a Daily Caller interview and has alleged, without evidence, that autopen use masked Biden’s cognitive decline and delegated decision-making to aides.
  • Biden and former aides have rejected those claims, saying he personally made the decisions and authorized any autopen signatures, consistent with DOJ Office of Legal Counsel guidance.
  • The installation follows other Trump-driven changes to the grounds, including a stone patio replacing Rose Garden grass and construction of a new White House ballroom.
