Welp, he did it.
"He," being President Donald Trump, and "it" being depicting former President Joe Biden as an autopen on the new White House "Presidential Wall of Fame."
No one — and I mean no one — in U.S. presidential history comes anywhere close to Trump when it comes to not only trolling his adversaries — but also, masterfully turning jabs from Democrats to his advantage by doing so.
As we saw during the 2024 presidential election, when Biden called Trump supporters "garbage," Trump promptly showed up at a campaign rally riding in the passenger seat of a garbage truck, hard hat and all.
And when woefully overmatched Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris claimed (lied) she once worked at McDonald's — in a desperate effort to prove (lied) she "grew up in a middle-class family" — Trump brilliantly worked a drive-through window at a Mickey D's.
The guy's simply the boss of trolls, hands down.
Yet, when Trump suggested in early September that he planned to display a portrait focused on the Biden administration's use (abuse) of an autopen in the new “Presidential Wall of Fame” for the Rose Garden, I thought he was joking. Yeah, my bad.
America, for your viewing pleasure, I present the following, courtesy of President Donald J. Trump:
Is that just the funniest thing you've ever seen?
I mean, I'm sure Democrats and their sock puppets in the liberal media are already throwing histrionic hissy fits about the best troll in presidential history. Never mind, of course, that they've spent years calling America's 45th and 47th president "Hitler," a "fascist," a "white supremacist," "dictator," and worse.
LET'S REFRESH: Joe Biden's Autopen Left Four Men on the Military's Death Row, It's Time for Trump to Take Action
To be clear, a presidential autopen may be used to sign official documents — including legislation and pardons — if the president specifically authorizes its use.
Therein lies the question. Make that "therein lies the problem."
As Biden's cognitive capacity continued to decline — some would say all the way to vacant — some have suggested, including Trump, that Biden aides regularly used an autopen to sign legislation, and more ominously, presidential pardons without his express, specific knowledge — including the unconditional full pardon of his wayward son, Hunter Biden, which the then-president said multiple times he wouldn't do.
As Fox News reported on September 8, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said his panel was wrapping up its investigation into Biden staffers using an autopen without his knowledge after a new report revealed concerns raised within the former administration itself:
"New records reveal President Biden’s own administration raised concerns about autopen use to grant thousands of pardons. This is a historic scandal with massive repercussions," Comer told Fox News Digital in response to the Axios report.
"As President Biden declined, his aides carried out executive actions without his approval, casting doubt on the legitimacy of thousands of pardons and other executive actions."
Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, I gotta repeat:
Nobody trolls like Donald Trump. Nobody. And I couldn't love it more.
