Trump installs critical plaques beneath Biden, Obama portraits
Washington is abuzz with a striking decision from the Trump White House that’s bound to turn heads.
The administration has unveiled new plaques under the portraits of former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama in the Presidential Walk of Fame, a gallery honoring past leaders, using pointed language to challenge their legacies with classic Trump rhetoric.
These recently installed plaques in the historic display echo President Donald Trump’s well-known criticisms of his Democratic predecessors.
Sharp Critiques of Biden’s Tenure
The plaque beneath Biden’s portrait doesn’t mince words, labeling him “Sleepy Joe Biden” and declaring him “the worst President in American History." That’s a bold assertion, and while many conservatives might share frustrations over his policies, it marks a break from traditional decorum in such settings.
Biden’s plaque further claims he gained the presidency through “the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States." This taps into lingering doubts among some Americans about electoral fairness, though it risks overshadowing policy critiques with political drama.
The plaque also targets Biden’s record on the economy, inflation, energy, and immigration, while highlighting events like the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Ukraine war, and the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. These issues resonate with those who felt the impact of economic struggles and global unrest during his time in office.
Claims of Biden’s Weak Leadership
A second plaque under Biden’s portrait asserts he was “dominated by his Radical Left handlers." If accurate, this suggests a presidency steered by extreme influences, though it may oversimplify the dynamics of governance.
Additional criticisms accuse Biden’s staff and the media of concealing concerns about his mental fitness and his use of an autopen for signing documents. Trump has repeatedly condemned the autopen, a tool used by many leaders, alleging unauthorized signatures on Biden-era policies and promising to reverse them.
The plaque also charges Biden with politically targeting opponents and mentions a so-called “Biden Crime Family.” While such claims strike a chord with conservatives wary of elite corruption, they could distract from substantive policy discussions.
Obama’s Policies Under Scrutiny
Shifting to Barack Obama, the plaque under his portrait takes aim at the Affordable Care Act, a policy long faulted by conservatives for its expense and scope. It’s a valid critique for those hit by rising costs, even if millions gained coverage under the plan.
Obama’s plaque further critiques his economic approach, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Paris climate accords, portraying them as burdens on American interests. It also references ISIS’s expansion in the Middle East and Russia’s Crimea invasion as failures of his era.
The plaque claims Obama “crippled” small businesses with excessive regulation, a grievance shared by many entrepreneurs who felt stifled by bureaucracy. This point underscores why so many later embraced a deregulatory agenda.
Allegations of Political Misconduct
Obama’s plaque also accuses him of spying on Trump’s 2016 campaign and orchestrating a “Russia Hoax” to discredit his opponent. Such allegations fuel distrust in government institutions, though they remain disputed and unconfirmed by many.
Additionally, the plaque notes Obama’s backing of Hillary Clinton as his preferred successor, only for her to lose, while applauding Republican congressional gains after his presidency. This serves as a reminder of the political shift many conservatives welcomed as a rejection of progressive policies.
These plaques, whether seen as truth-telling or overreach, have undeniably stirred the pot in Washington. They reflect a broader conservative push to reframe recent presidential history, even if the tone might alienate those seeking bipartisan respect in public spaces.
