Donald Trump unveiled new descriptive plaques beneath a gold-heavy display he calls the Presidential Walk of Fame, replacing Joe Biden’s portrait with an image of an autopen and his signature after earlier reports that panels had been installed along the colonnade.The plaques use insulting language and idiosyncratic capitalization, labeling Biden “Sleepy Joe Biden,” calling Barack Obama “Barack Hussein Obama,” and attacking the Biden Crime Family, the Fake News Media and the Iran nuclear deal.Karoline Leavitt defended the texts as written largely by Trump, while historians including
Ellen Fitzpatrick,
Michael Allen and
Mark Brockway criticized the installation as politicized commentary that violates tradition and risks distorting public history.
