Trump shows Xi 'autopen' portrait of Biden during White House tour

tagesspiegel.de (German) —

During a White House tour, President Trump showed China's President Xi Jinping a portrait of an "autopen" in place of former President Joe Biden's image, prompting Xi to burst into laughter. Trump presented the redesigned "Presidential Walk of Fame," pointing to his own portraits and then the autopen photo, which he jokingly identified as Biden. The display is part of Trump's ongoing criticism of Biden's use of the mechanical signing machine for pardons. Trump also replaced plaques under portraits of former presidents, including calling Biden the "worst president in American history" and criticizing Barack Obama and George W. Bush. The White House said Trump personally wrote the new descriptions.
