White House "Presidential Wall", adding captions under the pictures: Biden "the worst, most corrupt, most incompetent"; Obama "most divisive", created the "Russia collusion hoax" and "expensive healthcare";
Reagan "is a fan of Trump", etc.
Recent exposed photos show that captions have been added below the portraits on the Presidential Wall:
Biden is labeled "the worst, most corrupt, most incompetent";
Obama is accused of "being the most divisive" and "creating the Russia collusion hoax and expensive healthcare";
Reagan is labeled "a fan of Trump".
These labels highlight key words in red (such as "corruption") and are criticized for turning an official venue into a tool for political attacks.
Trump's intention and methods
Symbolic humiliation of opponents: using a "signature pen" instead of the portrait, implying that Biden's administration lacks autonomy; the caption labels directly negate the historical status of Democratic presidents, embedding personal evaluations into the national historical display space.
Continuation of personal political style: Previously, Trump has repeatedly modified the White House decorations, such as hanging a painting depicting his own assassination scene titled "Fight, Fight, Fight," or placing a painting of Lincoln, Reagan, and himself side by side, to strengthen the conservative narrative.
This move has sparked controversy. Supporters view it as a "just act of revealing the truth," aligning with Trump's image of "breaking political correctness";
Opponents criticize it as "naive and divisive," with media outlets like The New York Times pointing out that such operations lower serious constitutional disputes to a "political farce."
