US president Donald Trump mocked former president Joe Biden on Monday, saying that Biden’s photo in the White House would feature an “autopen.”
During an interview with The Daily Caller, Trump said, “We’re doing what’s called the Presidential Wall of Fame ,” Trump said. Asked if he would put a picture of Biden, he replied, "We put up a picture of the autopen ."
In the interview, the president also showed some of the new features in the White House, including a sketch of Biden's official portrait.
Trump’s remark refers to his repeated claims that Biden relied on the device—an automated signature machine—to approve key documents during his presidency. Earlier this year, Trump cited a Heritage Foundation report alleging that Biden’s White House used the autopen to sign pardons and executive orders without his knowledge.
In June, Trump ordered an investigation into the alleged practice and accused Biden’s aides of hiding his mental decline. Biden has rejected the charge, calling it “ridiculous and false,” and insisted he personally made all presidential decisions.
The justice department has previously said presidents can legally use the autopen. The device has also been used by Barack Obama and Trump himself.
It was not clear from Trump’s interview whether the artwork would show the autopen alone or Biden with the device. “I like it. This is going to be very controversial,” Trump said.
Biden ended his 2024 re-election campaign citing age concerns and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris.
