Donald Trump seems to have taken a controversial approach by creating a new display at the White House, which has left many observers surprised.
Known for his unconventional political style, Trump’s recent action has raised eyebrows.
In the White House, Trump’s team has set up a ‘Hall of Fame’ featuring portraits of former presidents.
However, the descriptions accompanying these portraits often criticize previous presidents while highlighting Trump’s own achievements.
These notes seem to reflect Trump’s personal view of their presidencies rather than an objective account.
Each former president is represented with a portrait, except for Joe Biden, whose display includes an autopen.
Trump has frequently argued that Biden lacked mental capacity during his presidency and had others use an autopen to sign his name without his awareness.
Biden’s plaque begins with: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History.
“Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction.
“His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden Let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the united States, including from prisons, jails, mental instituions, and insane asylums.
“His Afghanistan Disaster was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded.
“Seeing Biden’s devastating weakness, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Hamas terrorists launched the heinous October 7th attack on Israel.”
Obama’s plaque starts with: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History.
“As President, he passed the highly ineffective ‘Unafforable’ Care act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress, and the Election of the largest House Republican majority since 1946.
“He presided over a stagnant Economy, approved the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President Donald J. Trump.”
The entire plaque for George W. Bush states: “The son of former President George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush was the Governor of Texas when he won the hotly contested 2000 Election for President.
“His Administration was largely defined by the events of September 11, 2001 – The destruction of the World Trade Center, after which he led the war on terror.
“President Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, but started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened.
“He also enacted Tax Cuts, expanded Medicare, signed the No Child Left Behind education bill, and launched the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Shortly before the end of his Administration, a Global Financial Crisis and major Recession took place.”
Photos of these plaques have circulated on social media, leading to widespread astonishment at the statements about Trump’s predecessors.
One individual commented: “Summary of all these in Trump’s words ‘get in there and make it about you.’”
Another remarked: “Banana republic in action, I wonder what Trump’s predecessors will write about him.”
Someone else noted: “These plaques read like a LinkedIn profile written by the candidate himself. Not history. Self-fan fiction.”
