On Sunday Trump posted a savagely funny reaction to the scandal on Truth Social. //
Now, that's just epic, he has a wicked sense of humor. He posted his "45" and "47" official photos. Then in the middle was the autopen. But that's right on target.
On Friday, Trump commented on what a problem the autopen under Biden created, terming it a "big deal." He said it was disrespectful to the office and raised questions about the validity of the actions that were signed. //
The Trump team released a statement saying they don't do what Biden did.
"We do not use the autopen for documents that exercise the powers of the Presidency. So, for example, we do not use the autopen for executive orders, presidential memoranda, decision memoranda, nominations, appointment orders or commissions, or bills to be signed,” he wrote.
That's the way it should be done. It should only be used for things that don't involve such powers, maybe general correspondence or copies of things.
