Newest additions appear to be part of the administration’s ongoing ‘troll’ campaign against former presidents and Trump’s opponents

White House staff updated the so-called “Presidential Walk of Fame” Wednesday by adding lengthy descriptions of each former president, in rhetoric that aligns with Donald Trump’s – such as calling former President Joe Biden “the worst President in American History.”

As part of the president’s ongoing effort to customize the White House to his liking, Trump set his well-known opinions of each former president in stone by adding plaques underneath the portraits that now hang along the colonnade.

But rather than neutrally describing each president, Trump chose to invoke more color – claiming former President Barack Obama is “one of the most divisive political figures” and asserting former President Ronald Reagan “was a fan.”

    Trump is such an insecure prick. And he knows it. Get lost, loser. Nobody likes you.

    May as well replace the portraits with mirrors for the self-absorbed prick.

      You can tell no one even dared to correct his grammatical errors before casting them. The dysfunction that goes on in that building will be in sociology textbooks.

        You assume that Trump wrote those… Even the people who come up with these ideas, the people who execute the ideas and the people who report on them, have no clue what they are doing, but giving Trump credit for this would be expecting too much off him

          White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind. As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”

            Yeah right… Maybe dictated to some secretary that ran it through some AI to make it sound more like him

            Trump taking credit for something he is not responsible for sounds very plausible

            Even if he did write a draft of them, I doubt that the idea was his.

    It’s so childishly political at every point. How can anyone see this kind of thing, all the time, and not see it for the propaganda effort it is?

    calling former President Joe Biden “the worst President in American History.”

    The only argument for that being that he didn’t take the necessary steps to ensure Trump would never be president again. What those steps are is left up to the reader.

    This is ordered by the man who was proud to be thin-skinned and spent their whole lives trying to be in the spotlight more than anyone else. He doesn’t care why, he just wants to be the most famous of anyone.

    Literally screams childhood abandonment syndrome. It’d almost be sad if he wasn’t such a terrible person who spent their whole life destroying everyone’s lives.

      I often remind people that what we refer to as “personality disorders” don’t appear out of nowhere. The most narcissistic person you know is paralyzed with fear that they’re unlovable. When they speak highly of themselves, they’re desperate for you to tell them they’re good and special, because they can’t find that goodness in themselves. Unfortunately when their efforts repel everyone around them, they end up confirming what they fear the most.

      For all the darkness and evil Trump has brought to this world, remember that he’s never really felt loved a day in his life.

    This, from the guy who buried one of his ex-wives on his own golf course just so he could continue cheating on her…

    America is the dysfunctional trailer park family that has put their 12 year spoiled brat child in charge of the park. Everyone hates him but they have to keep in place for some reason.
