"From "Sleepy Joe" Biden references to painting Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump, the plaques include bombastic language written in Trumpian style. The installation is the Republican president's latest move to shape the White House in his image, an effort that has spanned from adorning the Oval Office to razing the East Wing in preparation for a massive ballroom addition."
"Another Democrat, Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president and Trump's first presidential predecessor, is labeled "one of the most divisive political figures in American history." The plaque below former President George W. Bush's portrait appears to approve of the Republican's creation of the Department of Homeland Security but decries that he "started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened.""
President Donald Trump refashioned a West Wing walkway into the Presidential Walk of Fame and installed partisan, subjective plaques. The plaques use Trumpian language, including "Sleepy Joe" references and a portrayal of Ronald Reagan as admiring a young Trump. An introductory plaque states the Walk of Fame was "conceived, built, and dedicated by President Donald J. Trump as a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad, and somewhere in the middle." Biden's plaque repeats false claims about his 2020 victory and calls him "by far, the worst president in American history." Obama is labeled "one of the most divisive political figures in American history." Karoline Leavitt said many texts were written by the President.
