Trump Mocks Biden's Autopen Use During Xi Jinping's White House Tour
During a White House tour for Chinese President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden by pointing to the former president's portrait and calling it "the autopen," a remark that drew laughter from Xi and his delegation. Trump also highlighted his own double portrait, reflecting his two non-consecutive terms. The tour showcased renovations from Trump's second presidency, including a new Marine One helipad, which he noted Xi admired for its granite. The visit follows a formal welcome ceremony on Wednesday, with critics in the US calling the reception for Xi overly lavish. Trump has repeatedly criticized Biden's use of the autopen signature device as part of their political rivalry. The Xi visit occurs amid ongoing tensions in US-China relations, drawing significant international attention to the leaders' meetings.
