The feuding between the two political titans is heating up yet again, as former President Donald Trump has dropped the proverbial bomb on President Joe Biden’s recent pardons, suggesting they hold as much weight as a wet paper bag. The revelation that Biden has been using an autopen to sign these pardons prompted Trump to unleash his characteristic bravado on Truth Social, asserting that the legitimacy of Biden’s actions is as questionable as the president’s own cognitive faculties.
Just when one thought Biden’s final days in office couldn’t get any more bizarre, it turns out he has been issuing pardons via a machine. The mind reels. The pardons in question reportedly include those granted to Hunter Biden and a few cozy political buddies like Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff. One has to wonder if there’s a revolving door between the White House and a Magic 8-Ball when deciding who gets absolution from sin these days.
In typical Trump fashion, the former president didn’t shy away from calling out the whole charade. He declared these autopen-signed pardons as “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” The suggestion here is that Biden, or as many refer to him, Sleepy Joe, was blissfully unaware of the pardons being dispensed like candy at a parade. It raises the question—who really wrote the check for those pardons? Was the president even in the room, or was he napping in a corner?

The reality of the situation is that while Trump is passionate about challenging these pardons, there’s a cloud of uncertainty hanging over whether this fight will even stand up in a court of law. Legal experts are already raising their eyebrows, with one pointing out that using an autopen has been a common practice for decades and no presidential action has ever been torpedoed due to a lack of personal penmanship. Despite this legal perspective, the conservative base can’t help but appreciate the comedic spectacle as Biden’s alleged incompetence provides fresh grist for Trump’s mill.
The implications of these pardons could extend far, potentially sending ripples through the lives of figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, painted by some as the reigning bad guy in the pandemic saga. This tension hints at an emerging narrative—could Biden’s hasty pardons mark the beginning of a larger crackdown? Trump’s call for investigations insinuates a fate not just for the pardoned but also for those who sustained the smoke-and-mirrors White House theater. One can only hope this unfolding drama delivers the entertainment value that political fans so fervently crave.
While speculation swirls and the left gears up to rally behind their beleaguered president, the fact remains: the GOP’s free-for-all banter surrounding Biden’s pardons is sure to keep the political circus alive. Laughter is the best medicine, especially when the medicine cabinet is stocked with the whole cast of questionable characters from the Biden administration. Thus, as Trump sends up a flare over these autopen escapades, it seems the legacy of the Biden presidency continues to teeter on the edge of absurdity.
