The satirical meme, which quickly gained over 8,000 likes and thousands of reposts, pokes fun at a real 2025 controversy over Biden's heavy use of the autopen device for signing executive orders, pardons, and more. A House Oversight Committee report found 88% of 1,597 analyzed documents had identical autopen signatures, with Republicans like James Comer alleging aides authorized them without Biden's direct approval. Trump pushed for a DOJ probe that was later dropped, while Biden insisted he approved every decision; the joke taps into ongoing partisan divides over his presidency.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A funny image shows Joe Biden napping at the Resolute Desk while an autopen machine signs stacks of documents for him. Conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman posted it Thursday, captioning that the autopen deserves its own wing in Biden's future library.
