Trump makes Xi laugh with jab at Biden's autopen portrait

poder360.com.br (Portuguese) —

During a White House tour on Thursday, President Donald Trump made Chinese President Xi Jinping laugh by showing that former President Joe Biden's portrait had been replaced with a photo of an autopen, a device that reproduces signatures. The White House posted the video on X, where it went viral with over 7 million views. Trump has repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that Biden's staff may have used the autopen to sign documents on his behalf, and has called Biden "incompetent" and "stupid." In June 2025, Trump ordered an investigation into whether Biden's team concealed his mental decline and overused the device. The autopen photo has been displayed in the White House hallway since September 2025. According to Politico, previous presidents, including Barack Obama and Trump himself, have also used autopens to sign official documents.
