President Donald Trump has installed plaques underneath portraits of presidents at the White House, using them to insult and make unfounded claims about some of his predecessors including Joe Biden and Barack Obama — the latest in a series of controversial White House changes under Trump.
The plaques, many of which the White House said Trump penned himself, add to what the president has dubbed the "Presidential Walk of Fame" — a portrait gallery along the West Wing Colonnade — and describe the tenures of former commanders in chief in an overtly political way.
Trump's most recent predecessors' plaques read the most editorialized. The permanent signs are stylistically similar to the president's social media posts, with sporadic capitalizations and punctuation — including many exclamation points.
Obama had no comment about the plaque. ABC News did not receive immediate responses from Biden and the Clintons for comment.
Many of the plaques were "written directly by the President himself," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement about the new decor.
"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," Leavitt said in the statement.
