President Trump Opens Up About Who He Thinks Was Really In Charge During Biden Administration
Even the Democrats and mainstream media personalities who repeatedly insisted Joe Biden was sharp as a tack in the early days of the 2024 presidential race are now acknowledging that he was clearly not all there during his term in the White House.
That reality has led to an array of theories about who was actually making the decisions behind all of the autopen signatures and other political moves during the Biden Administration.
For his part, President Donald Trump was finally willing to offer his opinion on the matter during a recent interview.
As Fox News reported:
Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked Trump whether he believed Jill Biden was former President Joe Biden’s “autopen.”
“No, I don’t think so,” Trump said, but argued “she was certainly involved because he gave her the last meeting to preside over with the Cabinet.”
Trump was referring to the former first lady’s controversial attendance at one of Biden’s last Cabinet meetings in September 2024.
The amount of alleged influence the former first lady had over Joe Biden and his administration had been a frequent source of controversy well before the September Cabinet meeting.
Trump attributed the influence on the former president to “radical left lunatics” rather than just Jill Biden.
“They [the Biden administration] had a lot of bad people. They had a lot of radical left lunatics in there, and I think he was perfect. He was perfect for them because he didn’t have a clue,” Trump said on Fox Noticias.
Biden’s use of the autopen has been the subject of significant social media scorn:

"…investigation… has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one."

As The National News Desk reported last month, Trump has already expressed his disdain for his predecessor’s heavy use of autopen:
President Donald Trump claimed early Monday that former President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardons for members of the Jan. 6 Select Committee and others were “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect” due to him using an autopen.
“The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”
He went on to state that members of the House committee are “subject to investigation at the highest level.”
In the last hours of his presidency, Biden issued preemptive pardons to his family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, former Rep. Liz Cheney and other lawmakers who were part of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Here’s what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had to say about the autopen pardons:
