Donald Trump shoots all the wood against Joe Biden. Six months after his return to power, the US President continues to overwhelm his predecessor Democratic reproach, which returns both the war in Ukraine and for inflation or the migratory crisis.
Joe Biden’s announcement of his prostate cancer did not pushed Donald Trump to moderate his attacks. Otherwise. If he said he was “sad” for this news, he immediately “surprised” that “the public was not informed” before, before He suspected that the former president had hidden his illness. He also saw the confirmation of his theory according to which Joe Biden’s health did not allow him to make his decisions himself.
This Wednesday, June 4, Donald Trump announced the launch of an investigation against Joe Biden’s entourage, who suspects having “planned” to hide the decline of the former president but also usurpes his power.
“The greatest political scandal in American history”
According to the memorandum published by the White House, the president entrusts his legal advisor, in consultation with the Minister of Justice, the mission “to investigate, within the limits provided by law, to determine if certain people have planned to lie to the public about the mental state of Biden and innitally exercise the prerogations and responsibilities of the president.”
In the heart of these suspicions: the supposed massive use of the Joe Biden team of a “sign machine” (Self -cheeked) To “usurp the power of the presidential firm”.
The Trump administration takes care of these theses developed by the very conservative Heritage Foundation, a circle of pro-trump reflection whose “project 2025” is seen by the opponents of the Republican billionaire as a road map of his government.
“With the exception of the manipulated presidential election of 2020, Autopen is the greatest political scandal in the history of the United States,” repeats the US president in his social networks and against journalists.
Last March, Donald had already considered that the preventive graces granted by Joe Biden to certain enemies of the Republicans before his heading of the White House on January 20 are not valid because they were signed by a machine.
A machine used by the presidents since 1803
The unknown device for the general public, the automatic pen or the sign machine is an automaton equipped with a pen that allows to reproduce the signature of an individual, previously registered. This device is used by the US government, but also by companies to sign documents in large quantities.
According to the Foundation of the Manuscript of Shapell, the first US president to resort was Thomas Jefferson in 1803. Much later, President Lyndon Johnson was the first to appear with a Self -in In the pages of Tabloid National Toquirer, which titled his article: “The robot that replaces the president.”
YesSelf -in It was mainly used for presidential correspondence, in 2011, the New York Times reports that Barack Obama becomes the first US president to sign a law with an automatic pen when he was moving in Europe.
Nothing forces a president to signing a law, the Ministry of Justice had decided in 2005. The Head of State can ask for “a subordinate to place the president’s signature, for example, with an automatic pen,” according to the ministry’s memo.
The document specifies that there are practical reasons why a president must use an automatic pen, for example, when he is not in the White House or when he wants a law to be immediately entered, for example, to avoid a close.
Accusations without proof
Donald Trump, who admits to use the sign to respond “to the thousands of letters sent by young people” to the White House, accuses Joe Biden of having “signed almost everything with a Self -in“
What really? As the BBC points out, no evidence confirms these accusations. Many photos and videos transmitted by the White House during his mandate, in the opposite program of Joe Biden Signer with his thanksgiving or other official documents such as decrees.
The use of the automatic pen was a “rarity” during the mandate of Joe Biden, he said CNN in an article dating from May 2024and relating the firm by Self -in An extension of the federal aviation programs outside a trip from the Democratic President to San Francisco.
“The White House has sometimes given a lot of problem to send laws by plane to Joe Biden during his trips abroad, including an Ukrainian assistance program of $ 40 billion that the president signed during his stay in South Korea in 2022 and a 2022 law aimed at avoiding the closeWhile the president was on vacation in Sainte-Croix (Caribbean), “he wrote the news channel at that time.
When asked about the issue of the White House on Thursday, Donald Trump himself admitted that he had “discovered” new information. “No, but I discovered his human mind. I discussed him,” he dodged, referring to the catastrophic debate that had pushed Joe Biden to retire from the presidential campaign.
President Biden’s health in question
In a rare press release, Joe Biden firmly denied these accusations:
“Let’s be clear: it was I who made decisions during my presidency. I made decisions about the graces, decrees, laws and proclamations. It is ridiculous and false suggesting that it was not I who did it,” he said on Wednesday.
The investigation launched by Donald Trump allows him to feed the idea that a “state of the shadows” within the government would have taken the reins of power instead of Joe Biden. Appeared to disseminate false information, the US president also transmitted last week in his social network of truth, a distorted theory of shipping according to which Joe Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced by robotic clones.
The controversy also arrives at a time when the American press multiplies the revelations about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline at the end of his mandate, and in the way the White House tried to hide it from the Americans.
