US President Donald Trump has replaced the portrait of Joe Biden in the White House’s “Presidential Alley” with an image of an autopen device. Footage of the change was shared by Trump’s aide, Margo Martin, on the social media platform X.
The new image is displayed in the spot where Biden’s portrait previously hung, symbolizing the shift in power and serving as a critique of the previous president. Trump intends to emphasize that he is an active leader capable of personally signing legislative acts.
In June, Biden acknowledged using an autopen for signing clemency orders, stating that he personally made every decision and that the autopen was used only due to the sheer volume of documents.
