Joe Biden Pushes Back Against Trump’s “Autopen” Accusations: “I Made the Decisions”

In the evolving landscape of political attacks and presidential legacies, Donald Trump has stirred controversy by claiming that former President Joe Biden relied on an autopen to sign critical executive orders, pardons, and legislation during his time in office. The autopen, a legal mechanical device used by several presidents for logistical reasons, became Trump’s latest tool in questioning Biden’s mental acuity and leadership. Though he provided no evidence, the allegation fueled media debate and social media speculation. Biden responded swiftly, calling the claim “absurd and untrue,” asserting he personally made every decision and authorized each document signed in his name.

This clash underscores deeper political stakes. Biden’s defense isn’t just about disputing a procedural detail; it’s about protecting his presidential legacy, which includes reestablishing global ties and passing major legislation. With Vice President Kamala Harris now the presumptive Democratic nominee following Biden’s 2024 withdrawal, the narrative surrounding his presidency has implications for the party’s future. Meanwhile, Trump’s strategy taps into ongoing doubts among his supporters about Biden’s fitness for office. Though the use of an autopen is standard and legal, the symbolic power of a signature—and who controls it—reflects broader concerns about presence, perception, and power in American politics.
