President Donald Trump teased putting up an "autopen portrait" of former President Joe Biden in a new White House gallery he's calling the "Presidential Wall of Fame" being constructed in the Rose Garden.
“It’s a decision I have to make. We put up a picture of the autopen,” Trump said during an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller on Monday (September 1).
“I gotta do it,” he added. “Same picture, but black and white. Yeah, and I’m not using that one with the smile.”
The Daily Caller didn't include a mock-up or additional details on the Biden portrait but Trump predicted it would cause a stir.
“This is going to be very controversial,” he said.
The Trump administration announced plans to launch an investigation into Biden's use of autopen in July, claiming tens of thousands of documents were turned over by the National Archives Records Administration focusing on the former president's use of the autopen.
“What did the former president direct, versus what he did not,” a Trump administration official questioned via the New York Post. “The only time a legitimate use of the autopen should happen is if the president said he wanted something done, or if he was asked for his approval.”
