The White House has added a Presidential Walk of Fame at the White House. The Presidential Walk of Fame, along the West Wing Colonnade of the White House, features framed portraits of every American president on the wall.

However, among the portraits along a covered walkway that connects the White House residence and the West Wing, and overlooks the Rose Garden, one stood out.

Auto-pen replaces Biden’s portrait

Between Trump’s portraits as the 45th and 47th presidents is a framed image of an auto-pen, instead of a headshot of Joe Biden, the 46th President of the US.

The portrait of the autopen is shown as signing Biden’s name on a piece of paper.

While Trump had said in a recent interview that he would do this, not many had taken the President’s comment seriously.

A White House official confirmed to NBC News that all the presidents would be represented in the new display, but did not elaborate on the decision-making for Biden’s artwork.

Trump mocked Biden over auto-pen

Throughout his term in office, Trump had mocked Joe Biden over his age and health, even repeatedly calling him Sleepy Joe.

Trump has also long alleged that Biden’s White House relied on an autopen to sign key documents, and he has cast doubt on their validity.

‘It is illegal’

Recently Trump had renewed his criticism against former President Biden over the use of an autopen to sign off on important orders, including pardons, and suggested that they were void.

“It was illegally used. He never gave the orders,” Trump said during his recent visit to the UK. “He never told them what to do. And I guess the only one he signed, or one of the few he signed, was the pardon for his son.”

This is despite the fact that Trump himself has used an auto-pen. But a White House official previously told Fox News Digital that Trump uses his hand signature for every legally operational or binding document.
