Trump displays Biden autopen in White House ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’
-X
President Donald Trump has unveiled a new “Presidential Walk of Fame” along the West Wing Colonnade, displaying framed portraits of past presidents in gold trim.
But one image has sparked attention: instead of an official portrait, President Joe Biden is represented by a photo of his autopen signature.
Trump has frequently criticized Biden’s use of an autopen for official documents, linking it to questions about his mental fitness.
In June, the president issued a memorandum directing a probe into Biden’s use of the device, suggesting that aides may have concealed his cognitive decline.
Biden rejected those claims at the time, calling them “ridiculous and false.”
Margo Martin, special assistant to Trump and White House communications adviser, posted a video of the new walkway on X, writing, “The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade.”
The clip showed portraits of US presidents displayed in sequence, with Biden’s autopen photo standing out.

The White House installation comes as Trump continues broader renovations to the grounds, including a remodel of the Rose Garden into what aides call the “Rose Garden Club,” a marble-paved event space inspired by Mar-a-Lago.
Biden’s advisers have denied allegations of concealment and declined to comment on the new display. Critics, however, have framed the change as another example of Trump reshaping presidential tradition to fit his personal vision.
Trump is set to host Cabinet members and senior staff at a dinner in the Rose Garden Club, where guests will get their first look at the newly unveiled Presidential Walk of Fame.
