US President Donald Trump has added a “Presidential Walk of Fame” to the exterior of the White House, featuring portraits of each of the previous commanders-in-chief--except for one.

Instead of a headshot of Joe Biden, the Republican incumbent instead placed a photo of an autopen signing the Democrat’s name-- a reference to Trump’s frequent allegation that the former president was addled by the end of his term in office and not really the one making decisions.

The snub is the latest attempt by Trump to delegitimise a predecessor he routinely belittles, including in front of more than 100 world leaders on Tuesday at the UN General Assembly gathering. Trump has never acknowledged his own defeat to Biden in the 2020 election, instead falsely chalking up the outcome to voter fraud.

The addition is the latest in a series of design changes he has made at the White House since resuming office, including gold flourishes in the Oval Office, massive new flagpoles, Rose Garden patio stone replacement, and a new ballroom under construction.

The Biden autopen controversy refers to a series of Republican-led investigations and claims that former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a mechanical device that replicates a person's signature, for signing official documents, including pardons and executive orders. The allegations, amplified by President Trump and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, suggest Biden's staff may have made decisions in his name without his full awareness. The controversy gained traction in early 2025 after Trump, in a January Truth Social post, declared Biden's Jan. 6 committee pardons "VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OF EFFECT" due to autopen use, claiming it proved Biden "knew nothing about what he was signing."
