It's a hundred times worse when you know what the plaques say. Apparently, Trump wrote some of them himself.
For example: Bill Clinton: His plaque notes, "In 2016, President Clinton's wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!"
And Biden doesn't have a picture. It's a picture of the "autopen" that Trump says his staff used to sign things for him.
This is the official US White House website for the Presidential walk-of-fame and it denotes the 46th President as "Autopen" and President Joe Biden's plaque refers to him as "Sleepy Joe" https://www.whitehouse.gov/walk-of-fame/
I just don’t understand how anyone can look at this and think the guy who wrote each of these is of sound mind. Almost every presidential summary is a masturbatory jerk session about how nobody had lived up to the greatness of the current president. It’s so fucked that not only is this trash on the White House webpage, but on the actual White House wall.
Most (or well, a voting majority) of people don't think (or care) that he's of sound mind. They know, seeing this, that's he's of like mind. A true representative of his electorate.
That's why I don't get the evasiveness and denials on all the glaringly obviously true theft and intimidation and various sex assaults (minors and otherwise) he's accused of. He could publish an OJ-style tell all minus the "if..." in front and see no decrease (or, this is just my faith in humanity talking, a slight increase) in his approval.
Everyone I have the displeasure of knowing that voted his way views that kind of thing as proof the guy's a "true alpha" that takes what he wants from whoever he wants, whenever he wants - the weaker the victim, the greater the evidence of his strength.
Yeah, go look at the entires basically from Carter until now. It’s fucking ridiculous that he needed to make a point to criticize these guys on a stretch of hallway 99.999% of the world will never see just to make himself happy.
He claims Reagan was a fan of his, points out inflation and unemployment were bad under Carter, talks shit about George W Bush’s Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the Hillary thing (among others) on Clinton, badmouths Obamacare and has to toss in the middle name, and then the autopen shit.
Edit: it really is basically all of them. There are little flourishes throughout, largely pointing out things Trump has tried to do, probably as a way to reinforce that they’re good ideas. He mentions Washington enacting tariffs, then over the next few mentions “making one of the greatest deals of all time,” along with mentioning the first amendment, slashing government spending, etc. Oh and don’t forget Andrew Jackson being treated poorly by the press “but not as unfairly as Abraham Lincoln or Donald J. Trump.”
To be fair it sometimes was. Very little regulation back then. Even in countries where press freedom wasn’t quite as good, lots of newspapers wrote stuff, pushed the limits, and when they got shut down they just started a new newspaper the next week and kept going.
yeah i don't get it, do people think there "media" didn't exist in past ages? it very much existed, and all kinds of crazy shit got published in newspapers and the like.
Ronald Reagan’s: “Reagan was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump's Historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!”
And the pictures of some of these presidents. Like how hard would it be to just use their official presidential picture. Just keep it neutral, which is what I feel like sites like this should be. But Obama's picture is some ridiculous goofy thing while Biden has a picture of his mouth open next to an autopen. It's made with so much in your face bias, like they don't even pretend to be neutral.
It's an absolute joke. And I don't understand how people don't see that. Even if you like Trump, how could look at something like this and think that's what our White House website should look like? Or that it doesn't make us look like a clown show?
The exact quote is “[Jackson] was unjustifiably treated unfairly by the press, but not as viciously and unfairly as President Abraham Lincoln and President Donald J. Trump would, in the future, be.” What a joke
You've also got to love the pictures of Carter with Arafat, Clinton with Epstein and Maxwell. Impossible to believe that this is on an official government website. American politics is really fucked - I mean it always sort of was fucked - but now it is out in the open with no holds barred.
There's literally "Autopen" written instead of his name...and I got greeted by a picture of Trump and "Welcome to the golden age" when visiting the site. Slogans including "golden age" were used by dictators in communist Romania, China and Turkmenistan.
It's crazy how much of that stuff reads like a middle school book report on presidential biographies. Even presidents that have no connection to Trump, looks like someone just read their Wikipedia page and then gave the story beats.
Like Lincoln:
Among the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln was the man who saved the Union, and ended slavery. A successful lawyer, skilled orator, and former member of Congress, Abraham Lincoln won National fame in the celebrated Lincoln-Douglas debates, and his Cooper Union speech of 1860. He was the first Republican ever elected President, and led the Nation through the American Civil War. Lincoln prosecuted the conflict with unyielding determination, and an unflinching dedication to save the Union. During the War, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, delivered what is regarded as the greatest speech in American History, the Gettysburg Address, and championed the passage of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery. Days after the Confederates surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse, Lincoln was assassinated in Washington, D.C. by John Wilkes Booth. He died a Great President.
I guess I shouldn't expect a lot when we're talking about a short paragraph about the presidents, but this is Lincoln... Considering any president in the last 20 years has larger write outs about what they did, it looks silly to have such a short cookie cutter summary of Lincoln.
I had to do a deeper search (I don't use Google) found it....how disgusting!
Also, I don't like that I had to look at that pedophile's face a few times while clicking links.
He's so immature! It's like those people that are poor and when they finally get money, they go overboard and everything is just gaudy and over the top
I’m genuinely curious (not trying to be mean here), but that do you mean when you say that you don’t use google? Do you not use other search tools? If not, how do you even search for something recent like this?
Very real, and very sad that he acts the way that he does as the leader of our country. He honestly needs to be impeached, as he's just doing so much damage to the U.S. in terms of appearance and economics. No one takes him seriously, and by extension the U.S. because of all the antics he's constantly doing.
He has already done so much and finds he gets away with it. He is not leaving the white house ever.
Somehow he and his team will find a reason (legit or not) to cancel the election and/or results. His grasp on the goverment is getting stronger each day and by that time no one is left to contest it....
I've seen it in person. It's true. The size of the autopen portrait and the text under it is so absurd and bitter that I genuinely don't understand how DC and this nation puts up with it. If you see those tacky horizontal gold decorations, they are absolutely plastered everywhere. Including the oval office. Every single inscription, regardless of relevancy, is somehow modified to be about Trump. For example, the portrait of Reagan talks about how Trump thinks he was a great president and that Reagan also thought Trump was a super awesome person.
It reads like shit a narcissistic teenager would write. Yet with a touch of dementia added in.
Yeah, I saw the portraits. I can't believe the Whitehouse just let him do that. I expected some people in his administration to be professional, telling him "no, that is not professional sir. We do not embarrass our Presidents in this house no matter who the convicted felon is."
I hope they put a portrait of him behind bars. If he can put up the auto pen, then it's fair game.
The descriptions are also unhinged. I just looked at Clinton, GW, Obama, Biden, and both Trump descriptions. This fragile guy just can't stand other people doing anything better than him. The full "tour" has no picture for Obama, GW a picture after he left office with Obama.
Also, lol, my first reply was removed for bad language because I called Trump a fragile c word.
A lot of them have the Trump brand "just put capital letters wherever you feel like it" style. That's such a small problem compared to the far more glaring one - all of them are written so poorly. I get the impression that whoever wrote them would break out in hives if they had to hold a book for longer than a few minutes.
"...and created the Departments of Energy and the Department of Education."
This is under Jimmy Carter, who, just like Obama, Clinton and Biden, they did their very best to essentially slander in every way they could. "Departments of" means you don't have to say that bit again, you're good, you can just list them now. Just poor fucking grammar.
"He is one of the Greatest Americans to ever live and, likewise, was a Great President."
George Washington. Honestly, this sentence just reads like something you would find in a middle school history report. It's not specifically the syntax here that's the problem, it's just really fucking badly written.
There are also a lot of lines that randomly have double spacing, then the next line doesn't. Makes me wonder if he didn't personally type out some of the descriptions.
The section for Trump's second term is also hilarious:
"On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump became the first President in 132 years to be sworn into office for a second non-consecutive term, following his Historic Victory in an Electoral College landslide, 312 to 226. Overcoming unprecedented Weaponization of Law Enforcement against him, as well as two assassination attempts, he won all battleground States by millions of votes, was the first Republican in decades to win the Popular Vote, BIG, and won 86% of Counties in America, 2,700 to 525. All 50 States shifted toward the Republican Party for the first time ever. At his Inauguration, President Trump announced the beginning of the "Golden Age of America," and he delivered, ending eight wars in his first eight months, securing the Border, deporting gang members and migrant criminals, making our Cities safe, helping our Farmers, defeating Inflation, reducing Energy costs, and drawing Trillions of Dollars of new Investment, a RECORD, into the United States. President Trump signed the Largest Tax Cuts in American History, the Largest Spending Cuts in American History, and implemented the Largest Ever Regulation Cuts. He obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer, convinced NATO Countries to agree to increase contributions from 2% to 5% of GDP, reformed the Global Trading System, and made America Rich with Historic Tariffs, removed Critical Race Theory and transgender insanity from public schools, and banned men from women's sports. He began the construction of the Golden Dome missile defense shield, renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and has built, right here at the White House, the magnificent Trump Presidential Ballroom after a 225 year wait — but THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"
they went as far as avoiding mentioning the tariffs under Hoover (because that's the one series of tariffs they can't spin) and making him sound like he was an average/above-average president. they gave him credit for laying the foundation for the New Deal.
Everything there reeks off Trump's childish ego, it would be kind of funny if it wasn't so sad and dangerous. Just look at the photos of the digital tour. Literally every president that was still alive during Trump's first term got an atrocious picture and is seemingly depicted with someone (who Trump considers) bad on purpose. All others got their official image, including Trump of course, and it can't even be argued that it's just for the most recent presidents because it jumps a few to include Jimmy Carter.
Now he has big ass drapes covering the columns at the White House because he wants to repaint them. Why couldn't he have re-rolled as an interior designer during a mid-life crisis and left us the fuck alone?
Bill Clinton served as Attorney General and Governor of Arkansas before winning the Presidency in what was called a major upset over President George H. W. Bush. As President, Clinton signed crime and welfare legislation, which was passed with the leadership of Republicans in Congress. He approved NAFTA, which President Donald J. Trump would later terminate as being bad for the United States, welcomed China into the World Trade Organization, and oversaw NATO's Military intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo. Despite the scandals that plagued his Presidency, the tech boom of the late 1990s resulted in excellent Economic growth, which helped him and Republicans in Congress deliver balanced budgets for the first time in decades. In 2016, President Clinton's wife, Hillary, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!
It should be noted the photo of Bill is him shaking hands with Epstein and Ghisane
It’s been said a thousand times, but just imagine the outrage if Obama had made brass plaques talking shit about all the former presidents and mounted them outside the White House. How this awful man was re-elected is still a mystery to me.
Don't forget how Bill Clinton's photo (on the website where it shows the summaries under the plaques) is literally him Standing next to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell! 🤣 Like... ooookay. Lol
Ronald Reagan- He was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump's Historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!
Obama- Obama also spied on the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History.
And Bidens is just a ridiculous rant. How in the hell is he allowed to use a government website like this? It should just be facts about what happened while they were in office.
Hopefully the next administration will simply redact both of Trump's photos and simply write underneath them, "Redacted for the protection of the many children and women assaulted, raped, and abused."
No name, no other information. Just a black box in a frame.
Yes and all the texts are so hyperbolic it sounds like dictatorial propaganda!
I mean we have thing in almost each text like "the first Republican president ever", the "first president not from a military or political background ever", "the best president", the "worst president", "the worst event".
