• A White House video on X shows a new presidential gallery along the colonnade to the Oval Office, where Biden’s slot features a photographed signature machine labeled with his name and term.
• The autopen image is positioned between two portraits of Trump, reflecting his roles as Biden’s predecessor and successor.
• Trump has long alleged Biden’s aides relied on an autopen for official acts near the end of his term, using the topic to mock Biden and question document validity.

• The move lands as Trump’s June-ordered inquiry into whether Biden’s circle misled the public about his mental state continues, while Biden has called the accusations ridiculous and false.
