White House officials have installed plaques beneath portraits of former presidents that carry the views of Donald Trump, including critical descriptions of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
The additions, first seen publicly on Wednesday in the colonnade that runs from the West Wing to the residence, flout the protocols of how presidents normally treat their predecessors and reflect Trump’s bombastic language and chaotic grammar.
Joe Biden’s display features an autopen instead of a gilded portrait of the former president, and is introduced in the plaque as “Sleepy Joe” and “by far, the worst President in American History” who “brought our Nation to the brink of destruction.”
An introductory plaque tells passersby that the exhibit was “conceived, built, and dedicated by President Donald J Trump as a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad, and somewhere in the middle.”
“The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement describing the installation.
“As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”
Trump – who is given two displays is praised for “the Greatest Economy in the History of the World,” and one calls his 2016 Electoral College margin of 304-227 a “landslide.”
Trump’s second-term plaque notes his popular vote victory — something he did not achieve in 2016 — and concludes with “THE BEST IS YET TO COME.”

The Walk of Fame and its new plaques are the latest attempts by Trump to remake the White House in his own image.
Trump has also adorned the Oval Office in gold and razed the East Wing in preparation for a massive ballroom.
Over two plaques, Biden is blamed for inflation, his energy and immigration policy, and for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It also falsely claims that the former president was elected fraudulently.
Biden’s post-White House office had no comment.
Trump’s plaque is long list of boasts (Photo: Aaron Schwartz/Reuters)Barack Obama is described as “a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History.”
It calls Obama’s signature domestic achievement “the highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable Care Act” and boasts about Trump cancelling other major achievements including: “the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal … and “the one-side Paris Climate Accords.”
Former president George W Bush, is credited with creating the Department of Homeland Security and leading the nation after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
However the plaque decries that Bush “started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened.”
Bill Clinton, also once a friend of Trump’s, receives faint praise for major crime legislation, an overhaul of the social safety net and balanced budgets.
But his plaque notes Clinton secured those achievements with a Republican Congress, the help of the 1990s “tech boom” and “despite the scandals that plagued his Presidency.”

His plaque ends with the line: “In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!”
While Trump spared most deceased presidents of harsh criticism, he jabbed at one of his regular targets, the media — this time across multiple centuries: Andrew Jackson’s plaque says the seventh president was “unjustifiably treated unfairly by the Press, but not as viciously and unfairly as President Abraham Lincoln and President Donald J Trump would, in the future, be.”
