Trump mocked for showing Xi autopen portrait of Biden
President Donald Trump was branded "un-American" for mocking former President Joe Biden during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit, showing Xi an autopen replacing Biden's portrait in the White House's Presidential Walk of Fame. The moment drew widespread condemnation from critics. Trump stopped Xi at the portrait display Thursday, waving to his own two portraits and saying "Trump, and then Trump," before pointing to Biden's autopen image and explaining the joke as Xi laughed. Former Democratic Rep. John Delaney called it "the most un-American thing an American president has ever done," while commentators and former Trump aide Sarah Matthews echoed the criticism. The White House posted video of the moment with a laughing emoji, and some supporters found it humorous. Xi's three-day visit, which began Wednesday, included a state dinner Thursday with guests like Elon Musk and Tim Cook, where Xi said talks reached "common understanding on many issues."
