Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of President Joe Biden, focusing on the alleged widespread use of an autopen to sign official documents, including pardons. This comes after reports raised concerns about who is truly in control of the White House, with questions being asked about Biden’s cognitive abilities. Trump has called the autopen signatures “void” and “vacant,” suggesting they lack legal validity. He has also used the controversy to fuel his narrative that Biden is not mentally fit for office, and that others are running the country. The Trump campaign is using this as a talking point to rally its base and raise doubts about the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency.
