TLDR:
- President Trump has installed plaques beneath White House presidential portraits that read like his Truth Social posts, complete with nicknames and his signature capitalization
- Biden’s plaque calls him “by far, the worst President in American History” and accuses him of overseeing “unprecedented disasters”
- Obama is labeled “one of the most divisive political figures in American History” and accused of spying on Trump’s 2016 campaign
- Bush is criticized for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that “should not have happened,” while Clinton’s plaque notes his wife Hillary “lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump”
President Trump has turned the White House’s Presidential Walk of Fame into his personal report card on America’s leaders, installing plaques that read like his social media posts.
Mr. Trump “conceived, built, and dedicated” the Walk of Fame as a “tribute to past Presidents, good, bad, and somewhere in the middle,” according to one plaque.
The harshest assessment targets President Biden, whose plaque calls him “by far, the worst President in American History.” It accuses Mr. Biden of taking office through “the most corrupt Election ever seen” and overseeing “unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction.”
Former President Obama is described as “one of the most divisive political figures in American History” who “spied on the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump.”
Mr. Bush faces criticism for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, “both of which should not have happened.” Mr. Clinton’s plaque ends by noting his wife Hillary “lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the plaques as “eloquently written descriptions” that Mr. Trump largely wrote himself.
