Donald Trump has added further fuel to a conspiracy surrounding the use of an autopen by presidential predecessor, Joe Biden.
The president has previously claimed he will cancel all executive orders Biden passed when using an autopen. He took to Truth Social and wrote, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect.”
It seems Trump is still thinking on the autopen days after this post, and a week after showing Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman a framed photograph of Biden’s autopen, which has replaced the presidential portrait of Biden.
Trump has frequently alleged that the Biden administration forged the Democrat leader’s signature using an autopen to sign off on broader actions he was not aware of. While there is no evidence to support this, it’s a claim Trump has shared several times. His most recent claim of this occurring had him dubbed a “lunatic” by concerned members of the public.
Taking to Truth Social, the president shared a screenshot from far-right conspiracy site InfoWars. Alex Jones made an unfounded claim that Michelle Obama “may have used” Biden’s autopen during his time in office.
The full claim reads, “Michelle Obama may have used Biden’s autopen in the final days of his disastrous administration to pardon key individuals.” While the claim from Patrick Byrne is absurd, it falls in line with the president’s thoughts on Biden’s autopen.
Trump sharing the screenshot has caused some concern with members of the public. One viral post to X had one person write, “The president is a lunatic.”
Political commentator Brian Krassenstein went on to say the move to cancel all executive orders from Biden signed with an autopen is “illegal”. They wrote, “THIS IS ILLEGAL and Trump used an autopen hundreds of times.”
Trump would go on to call Joe Biden “crooked” and says the executive orders he signed into law would be revoked as they had been signed “illegally”.
Trump wrote, “I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally.”
