‘He Didn’t Approve This’: Trump Tears Into Joe Biden
President Donald Trump has recently intensified his criticism of former President Joe Biden, questioning the legitimacy of key decisions made during Biden’s tenure.
Central to Trump’s allegations is the assertion that Biden’s use of an autopen—a device that replicates a person’s signature—on significant legislation, particularly those related to immigration, indicates a lack of direct presidential oversight.
“We had a president that didn’t sign anything. He autopenned almost everything,” Trump stated, expressing skepticism over who was truly behind these decisions. He insinuated that radical elements within the Democratic Party, rather than Biden himself, were steering the country’s policies.
These remarks come in the wake of Biden’s announcement of his aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, which has metastasized to the bone.
Despite their political differences, Trump extended well wishes to Biden, stating, “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
Vice President Kamala Harris also expressed support, highlighting Biden’s resilience and optimism in facing health challenges. The Biden family is currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians.
Trump’s allegations regarding the autopen have sparked discussions about the extent of Biden’s involvement in key policy decisions during his presidency. While the use of an autopen is not unprecedented, its application on major legislation has raised questions about transparency and accountability in the executive branch.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, these developments underscore the ongoing tensions and debates surrounding leadership and governance in the United States.
