Washington, DC [US], November 29 (ANI): US President Donald Trump said Friday (local time) that documents signed by former Democratic President Joe Biden using an autopen stand terminated. He claimed that the majority of Biden’s orders were signed with the device, which produces a copy of a given signature.
He stated, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the autopen, which was approximately 92 percent of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Announcing the cancellation of all executive orders and “anything else” not directly signed by Biden, Trump reiterated his claims that people had illegally operated the autopen. The Republican leader threatened to prosecute Biden on “charges of perjury” if the latter claimed that staff acted under his direction.
“The Radical Left lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the presidency away from him. I am hereby canceling all executive orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury,” the president said.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that Biden was unable to control the executive office due to his age and mental state. He has long criticized Biden for using an autopen during his presidency. While the practice has been routine in the White House, Trump has argued that Biden’s reliance on the device shows he was not in control of his administration. He previously claimed that Biden aides made several decisions without the president’s knowledge.
Earlier in the day, Trump said he would permanently pause migration from all “third-world countries” to allow the US system to address what he described as illegal admissions into the United States.
This statement followed the shooting of two National Guard service members in Washington, DC, on Wednesday by an Afghan national, resulting in the death of one member and critically injuring the other.
In another post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World countries to allow the US system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our country, end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any foreign national who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western civilization.” (ANI)
