Trump's Controversial Presidential Walk of Fame Unveiled at White House
Full Transcript
President Trump unveiled a 'Presidential Walk of Fame' at the White House, featuring plaques beneath the portraits of former presidents that include disparaging remarks about them. According to CBS News, Biden's plaque claims he is 'by far, the worst president in American history' and falsely states he took office after 'the most corrupt election ever.' Obama is labeled 'one of the most divisive political figures in American history,' while Trump’s own plaques extol his presidency.
The plaques use language reminiscent of Trump's social media style, with criticisms aimed predominantly at Democratic presidents, as noted by The Guardian. The installation is seen as part of Trump's broader effort to reshape historical narratives and the White House environment to align with his political views.
The display also includes a non-portrait image for Biden, depicting an autopen, emphasizing Trump's belief that Biden is unfit for the presidency. The reaction to the walk has been mixed, with Trump's approval ratings reportedly slipping to around 39%, reflecting concerns over his economic handling, as reported by The Guardian and CBS News.
