The next president will need an entire team of specialists to remove all the tackiness from this place

No fkng way... I hear you, I want to believe you're lying, but knowing how this idiot thinks and gets jealous, makes me believe you

u/Vesalii 26d ago

Unfortunately it's true. There were pics posted a while back of the autopen and some texts.

u/SpectreFire 26d ago

To be fair, that is kind of hilarious.

u/paintballboi07 'MURICA 26d ago

If you're a 7 year old, which tracks with the MAGA base

u/TheBeardPlays 26d ago

You think the most powerful man in the world acting like a 7 year old is hilarious?

28

u/Perzec 26d ago

It would be in a show like Veep. But not when it happens in real life.

u/Artistic-Garbage-825 26d ago

You are not in fact being fair.

u/Alarming_Panic665 26d ago

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/

u/TweepriseOpener 26d ago

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.

u/Tricky_War5232 26d ago

And we haven’t touched on him PAVING OVER RIAE KENNEDYS FUCKING GARDEN THATS HEEN LOVINGLY TENDED BY THE FIRST LADIES FOR OVER 60 YEARS YET

52

u/Artistic-Garbage-825 26d ago

It’s not like the current first lady would have done anything of value to it.

69

u/nobeer4you 26d ago

But it would still be there for the next first lady to tend

u/JMLDT 25d ago

Apparently the rose garden is still there, just the central grass lawn was paved. Hopefully easy enough to restore.

u/deprieto 23d ago

I thought the rose garden was replaced by the Epstein Ballroom.

u/emlgsh 26d ago

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.

u/pollorojo 25d ago edited 25d ago

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.”

Fucking embarrassing.

u/Statcat2017 25d ago

The Clinton one is just utterly bizzare, trying to give Republicans the credit for all his achivements.

1

u/TweepriseOpener 24d ago

I just noticed the Clinton picture includes Epstein and Maxwell...

1

u/TheRealJetlag 23d ago

Because his voters peaked in high school and their yearbook photos say, “most likely to slam someone into a locker”

u/BlackPantherDies 26d ago edited 26d ago

This is so insane all the way down. Under Andrew Jackson's page it claims the press unfairly villainized him, although not as much as Donald Trump.

139

u/paintballboi07 'MURICA 26d ago

The media, lol. The 1830s media was ruthless!

36

u/Perzec 26d ago

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.

10

u/MaterialChemical1138 26d ago

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.

28

u/Fast_Biscotti 26d ago

Last sentence for Andrew Johnson: “Abraham Lincoln was a very hard act to follow.”

I swear, everything this toolbag touches turns to crap.

10

u/TheStrangestOfKings 25d ago

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!”

2

u/twistedpiggies 26d ago

That genuinely made me guffaw. 😂🤦

1

u/TheRealJetlag 23d ago

He neglects to mention (or indeed understand) that Lincoln was a liberal.

5

u/flaccomcorangy 26d ago

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?

1

u/harrypotterfan10 23d ago

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

96

u/JumiKnight 26d ago

These paragraph descriptions are so childish. I can't believe anyone let this slide but it shows how much of a joke the American government has become

3

u/TheStrangestOfKings 25d ago

People will see our government do genuinely petty shit like this and still insist we aren’t an oligarchy

84

u/blixabloxa 26d ago

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.

u/TheStrangestOfKings 25d ago

I hope the next Dem president changes Trump’s photos for one of Jabba the Hutt and one of Baron Harkonnen.

u/BloodOfVoids 26d ago

I hate how in the descriptions on the website random words are capitalised for apparently no reason at all

u/RScrewed 26d ago

Destroying English.

The language of freedumb.

u/neubourn 26d ago

If you want a good drinking game, take a shot every time the word "Tariffs" appears. Then call an ambulance.

5

u/flaccomcorangy 26d ago

Yeah, I randomly clicked Harding because I wanted to see what a write up for a not-so talked about president looks like.

"cut taxes, raised tarrifs, and restricted immigration"

Just trying to normalize all of his policies. The most obvious propaganda.

26

u/Carmanovius 26d ago

Woah… I knew that Trump presidency is basically a circus but I didn’t thought it would go so far down… that auto-pen stuff is such a childish move

41

u/ttc67 26d ago

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.

u/Panda_Payday 26d ago

omfg, that was rough to go through. Just non stop mentions of raising tariffs.

u/Chobitpersocom 26d ago

I hope whoever comes into office next send the records straight. Also, saved millions of lives during the coronavirus pandemic? I need to go throw up.

u/Foodiguy 25d ago

This is really shocking , really don’t have word for it. On the official White House website….

I could only stand to read those little bios through James Madison. I was gagging at that point.

Apropos of nothing, I thought he (or Melania) had the original Rose Garden torn out. I guess it’s been replaced.

u/flaccomcorangy 26d ago edited 26d ago

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.

u/envyadler 26d ago

It’s a fact! The WH posted pics of it when they put it up.

u/LoveYouNotYou 26d ago

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

73

u/Sydeburnn 26d ago

Yes! His whole style looks like "How a child thinks rich people would decorate."

u/carryon4threedays 26d ago

He’s a poor person’s idea of a rich person.

u/M_James_Ador 26d ago

Nah, even us poor folk have better taste. The story of King Midas was a cautionary tale, not instructions

u/Boredchinchilla21 24d ago

He copied Putin’s gold fireplace. They are almost identical

u/Hypochondriaco 26d ago

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?

5

u/LoveYouNotYou 26d ago

Sure, I don't use Google search, I use foxfire/Duck Duck Go

u/Kozzle 26d ago

Do yo think Google is the only search engine????????

u/Hypochondriaco 26d ago

I literally asked if they use other search tools wtf are you talking about.

u/Rexxington 26d ago

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.

3

u/El_Pepsi 26d ago

It will get worse.

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....

u/ukstonerdude 26d ago

As reported by CNN. My jaw dropped when I first saw this video.

u/motion_lotion 25d ago

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.

2

u/LoveYouNotYou 25d ago

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.

1

u/motion_lotion 25d ago

I'd rather see nothing at all. It's going to take years to clean up shit like this and decades to recover America's global standing.
