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.”

    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.

    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.

      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.”

      We don’t have news channels in the U.S. We have entertainment channels.

      Felon rapist man-children who are non-stop daily drama are good for entertainment channels.

        Our news literally moved online to blogs and YouTube like 6 or more years ago. You want in depth well researched journalism? You have outfits like Unicorn Riot, War on the Rocks, and Propublica or you have a YouTuber who has a special interest for a particular subject.

        If you want to know what is happening right now it’s social media.

        If you want to feel emotions while trying to forget about your ever growing medical bills and just want a victim to blame, you go to cable entertainment news networks like The First (which, as a tangent, was last week, promoting the idea that Somalians were genetically incapable of living in a democracy), Newsmax, Fox, CNN or some other ragebait.

        It’s fucked up. I don’t know how to save us. So many people live with blinders on because, “Well, it doesn’t affect me!” I’m just here having panic attacks watching them come for other minorities, waiting for them to come for me. I’ll fight harder once my family obligations are over but right now it’s just a giant shit burger.

    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.

    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?

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