Trump's Jab at Biden Over 'Autopen Signature' Sparks Heated Debate

In a fiery social media post on Sunday, former President Donald Trump took aim at Joe Biden, reigniting a controversy over the use of "autopen signatures" during Biden's presidency. Trump posted three side-by-side images on Truth Social: his official portrait from his first term, an image of Biden's autopen, and his portrait from his second term, with the caption, "The person who was the real President during the Biden years was the person who controlled the Autopen!"

The post quickly gained traction, sparking heated discussions across social media platforms. Critics and supporters alike weighed in on the implications, with accusations flying regarding Biden's competency and speculation about who might have been calling the shots behind the scenes.

Trump, never one to mince words, doubled down on the topic during remarks from the Oval Office on Friday while discussing NATO spending. He questioned, "Who would think to sign important documents by autopen? These are major documents you're signing, yet you have your signature on something that in 300 years, people might say, 'Can you imagine everything was signed by autopen?'"

His comments echoed sentiments from some conservative circles that Biden's reliance on the autopen raised concerns about his health and leadership capabilities during his presidency. The topic has been especially sensitive among Democrats, who have faced accusations of covering up Biden's health challenges in his later years.

Social media users chimed in with varied reactions. One X user proclaimed, "President Trump JUST POSTED the AUTOPEN that ran the White House from 2021-2025 next to his portraits." Another called Biden an "illegitimate president" and questioned, "Who controlled the autopen?" Even Elon Musk weighed in with a cryptic response, posting a bullseye emoji and a laughing face on X.

A report by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project further stirred the pot. The investigation revealed that most of Biden's official documents bore the same autopen signature, except for the announcement of his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. "WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY," the group boldly claimed on X, accompanied by photo examples of the signature appearing on executive orders and other key documents.

The Oversight Project pointedly asked investigators to determine "who controlled the autopen" during Biden's administration, suggesting that this could provide clarity on the former president’s leadership—or lack thereof—during his term.

Fox News Digital reached out to Biden’s office for comment on both Trump’s accusations and the Oversight Project’s findings, but has yet to receive a response.

While Biden's team remains silent, the controversy over the autopen adds another layer of intrigue to the narrative of his presidency. Whether this will have lasting political consequences or simply fuel partisan debates further remains to be seen. One thing’s certain: Trump knows how to keep the spotlight—and the conversation—firmly on him.
