The Trump White House has installed new plaques beneath portraits in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” that sharply criticize Democratic predecessors, echoing President Donald Trump’s long-standing rhetoric. One plaque labels former President Joe Biden the “worst president in American history,” while another calls former President Barack Obama “one of the most divisive political figures” to hold the office. Trump has also replaced Biden’s portrait with an image of an autopen, arguing that Biden’s signature was used on official documents without proper authorization. Trump has pledged to repeal Biden-era actions he claims were signed using the device, which has been employed by multiple administrations.
The Biden plaques accuse him of winning office through a “corrupt election” and fault his administration on inflation, energy policy, immigration, and foreign affairs, citing the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the war in Ukraine. A second plaque alleges Biden was controlled by “Radical Left handlers,” questions his mental fitness, and references claims about political targeting and the “Biden Crime Family.” The plaque beneath Obama’s portrait criticizes the Affordable Care Act, economic policies, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Paris climate agreement, while also blaming his administration for instability in the Middle East and Russia’s seizure of Crimea.
Separately, the Justice Department has sued Washington, D.C., Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin for failing to provide full voter registration lists. The filings follow allegations of record-keeping failures in Georgia’s Fulton County during the 2020 election, including missing certifications, duplicate records, and incomplete chain-of-custody documentation.
