The White House unveiled a “Presidential Walk of Fame” along the West Wing Colonnade, displaying portraits of US presidents, with a notable exception for President Joe Biden. Instead of a traditional portrait, Biden is represented by a framed photo of an autopen signing his name.
“The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade,” wrote Margo Martin, special assistant to the president and communications adviser, in a post on X. A video accompanying her post shows black-and-white portraits of past presidents in gold frames, but between Donald Trump’s portraits as the 45th and 47th president sits the image of a machine, not a man.

The display comes amid Trump’s ongoing efforts to mock and undercut Biden. At the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, he continued to criticize his predecessor and has never acknowledged losing the 2020 election, falsely citing voter fraud.
Trump had previously indicated he would represent Biden with an autopen. In a recent interview with The Daily Caller, he said, “We’ll put up a picture of the autopen."
According to CNN, Trump has long focused on Biden’s autopen use and, in June, ordered an investigation into it, citing concerns over Biden’s “cognitive decline." At the time, Biden stated: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false."
Biden’s spokesperson has not commented on the new display. Trump has previously relocated portraits of other presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, and even replaced former first lady Hillary Clinton’s portrait with one of himself.
