President Donald Trump has unveiled a new “Presidential Walk of Fame” at the White House, displaying portraits of every past U.S. president — with one glaring exception
Instead of featuring Joe Biden’s portrait, Trump placed an image of an autopen signing Biden’s name, a pointed nod to his long-running claim that Biden was not fully in control during his presidency.
The move is the latest in Trump’s efforts to undermine Biden’s legacy. During his address to more than 100 world leaders at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump again mocked his predecessor and repeated his unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election.
Trump had previously hinted that Biden would be represented this way, arguing — without evidence — that Biden’s aides used the autopen to authorize decisions he didn’t actually approve. He has even questioned the legitimacy of pardons and official documents signed by Biden using the device, despite its routine use by past presidents. A Republican-led House committee is currently probing the Biden administration’s reliance on the autopen.
White House staff showcased the finished walkway on social media Wednesday afternoon. The press is expected to see the installation later that night when Trump hosts a dinner on the newly renovated Rose Garden patio, where the portraits line the Colonnade.
The Walk of Fame is one of several changes Trump has made since returning to office. Other updates include gold accents in the Oval Office, oversized flagpoles on the North and South Lawns, a stone-paved Rose Garden, and the ongoing construction of a grand ballroom.
