‘What Did Biden Do, Did He Have An Autopen…’ Trump Mocks Biden's Autopen Use In Oval Office [Video]

‘What Did Biden Do, Did He Have An Autopen…’ Trump Mocks Biden's Autopen Use In Oval Office

During an Oval Office executive order signing ceremony, President Donald Trump took a sharp jab at former President Joe Biden, mocking his use of an autopen to sign official documents. Trump questioned whether he could do the same, reigniting claims that Biden’s reliance on the device was potentially illegal. While the autopen has been used for decades in Washington, House Republicans have raised concerns and are planning a formal investigation into Biden’s use of the signature machine. Trump’s comments have brought renewed scrutiny to an otherwise obscure presidential tool. #Trump2025 #BidenAutopen #AutopenScandal #WhiteHouseNews #TrumpBidenFeud #OvalOffice #ExecutiveOrders #TrumpMocksBiden #AutopenControversy #PresidentialPowers #CongressInvestigation #GOPProbe #BidenPresidency #RemoteSignature #TrumpSpeech #PoliticalMockery #BidenUnderFire #GOPMoves #WhiteHouseTraditions #TrumpNews Also Read Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-bars-harvard-from-enrolling-foreign-students-4161385.html?ref=DMDesc Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

NBC Reporter CHALLENGES Trump Team Over White Crosses Video | WH Press Secretary FIRES BACK

A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clip’s accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmers—though Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trump’s rhetoric on race and global narratives. #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt #DonaldTrump #SouthAfrica #GenocideClaim #NBCNews #YamicheAlcindor #FarmMurders #MediaClash #TrumpVideo #PressBriefing #OvalOffice #PoliticalControversy #Misinformation #GlobalPolitics #RaceAndPolitics #USNews #SouthAfricaPolitics #FactCheck #NewsClash #RacialNarratives #TrumpControversy #Journalism #MediaWatch #FakeNewsDebate #InternationalRelations #WhiteFarmers #SouthAfricanFarms #CrossesVideo #PresidentialMeeting #TrumpRhetoric Also Read Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc US Defence Department Accepts Boeing 747 From Qatar For Trump's Use :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-defence-department-accepts-boeing-747-from-qatar-for-trumps-use-4160231.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
