According to CBS News (citing the Associated Press), a walkway in the White House’s West Wing that President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Presidential Walk of Fame” now includes new plaques installed beneath portraits of past presidents.
The plaques feature pointed, often subjective commentary about several predecessors. CBS/AP reports that the introductory marker says the display was “conceived, built, and dedicated” by Trump as a tribute to presidents “good, bad, and somewhere in the middle.”
Reuters reports that former President Joe Biden is uniquely not represented with a portrait; instead, the spot features an image of an autopen. Reuters also notes the plaques criticize Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and even Republican George W. Bush, framing their legacies in combative political language.
