Trump Replaces Biden Portrait in White House with Image of Protest Sign
WASHINGTON D.C. – In a striking display of political antagonism, President Donald trump has replaced portraits of his predecessor, Joe Biden, within the White House with a photograph of a sign bearing BidenS name, sparking accusations of a “plot” to discredit the former administration. The move, accompanied by a social media post featuring mocking emoticons, underscores the escalating tensions between Trump and biden’s political legacy.
The incident centers on a sign reading “Autopopen”-a term Trump has repeatedly used to deride Biden-displayed in place of official presidential portraits. Trump, elected to a second term in 2024 after initially winning in 2016, alleges Biden’s team concealed a decline in the former president’s capabilities and “usurped” power through the use of undisclosed assistance. He claims decisions made during biden’s presidency, including certain pardons, are now suspect.
Trump has characterized the situation as “one of the most dangerous and disturbing scandals in American history,” fueling a narrative of alleged wrongdoing within the previous administration. Biden, who has largely withdrawn from public life since Trump’s election, dismissed the claims as “ridiculous and false.” The former president recently disclosed a diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer.
The symbolic replacement of Biden’s portraits is occurring alongside a broader redecoration of the White House under Trump’s direction, featuring extensive golden ornamentation, portraits of himself, and the construction of a large ballroom.The unfolding events signal a continued effort by Trump to reshape the White House-both physically and symbolically-in his own image and to challenge the legitimacy of his predecessor’s actions.
