Donald Trump took a jab at Joe Biden by posting an edited image on Truth Social showing his own official presidential portrait next to a picture of Biden’s autopen machine and a second-term portrait. The post was in response to recent reports that Biden frequently used an autopen to sign official documents, sparking renewed concerns over who was making key decisions in his administration.
Trump criticized Biden during a press conference, questioning why such an important position would rely on an autopen for major executive orders. He called the practice unprecedented and implied that it undermined transparency in government. His post quickly went viral, with figures like Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk engaging with the discussion online.
A report by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project claimed that nearly all of Biden’s signed documents featured an identical autopen signature, with the only exception being his withdrawal announcement from the 2024 presidential race. The group suggested that this raised questions about who actually controlled the White House during his presidency.
Biden’s team has not yet responded to the allegations, though critics argue that the focus on the autopen is politically motivated. The controversy continues to fuel speculation about Biden’s cognitive health and decision-making during his time in office, with Republicans using it as further evidence of what they claim was a lack of presidential leadership.
