Plaques featuring trolly language have been installed under portraits of past presidents on the White House's "Presidential Walk of Fame," which President Donald Trump put in place.
Trump had already used the Walk of Fame to troll former President Joe Biden, whose portrait is not his face, but an image of an autopen and his signature. Now, a plaque under that image claims "Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History," an insult Trump regularly lobs at the man to whom he lost the 2020 election.
Common Trump insults are featured on plaques under images of other presidents, according to a White House pool report. Former President Barack Obama's plaque refers to him as "Barack Hussein Obama" and calls him "one of the most divisive political figures in American History," while former President Bill Clinton's plaque notes, "In 2016, President Clinton's wife, Hillary, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!"
