They have all the feel of an official marker placed at a historical site, with bronze-hued trim and gold-lettered type. But these accounts, on display at the White House are written in the style of a Truth Social post and convey the perspective of one man: President Donald Trump.
The fresh adornments to a “Presidential Walk of Fame” that Trump installed in September take a display already intended as a bit of a troll to new heights.
“Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American history,” reads one new sign that reporters spotted for the first time Wednesday, adding that he “brought our Nation to the brink of destruction.”
Trump had previously taken aim at the nation’s 46th president by installing a photo not of Biden but of an autopen, alongside portraits of his predecessors.
A new plaque for President Barack Obama includes his middle name, Hussein and calls him “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.” It says that as president “he passed the highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress.”
“He presided over a stagnant Economy, approved the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords” the plaque continues.
Bill Clinton’s states, “In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to Donald J. Trump!”
Spokespeople for Biden, Obama, and Clinton did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The one for Ronald Reagan casts his two terms in a positive light, concluding with, “He was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump’s Historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!”
It notes that Jimmy Carter oversaw high inflation and economic woes and adds, “Many feel that President Carter was more successful after his Presidency than during it. He did wonderful things for Humanity!”
The wall of photos is one of the latest changes that Trump has made to the White House. It sits next to the Rose Garden that the president has remade, and it’s near the East Wing that he destroyed to make way for a planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom that some preservationists worry will overshadow the main mansion.
Trump and the project’s former lead architect on the project argued about the size of the addition, with Trump pushing to go bigger.
