Just months after the Trump White House unveiled its eye-catching “Presidential Walk of Fame” — a hallway display featuring portraits of every U.S. president in ornate gold frames outside the Oval Office — the exhibit has been updated with a new, unmistakably Trumpian addition: plaques offering sharply opinionated summaries of each commander-in-chief’s record.
The descriptions, newly installed beneath each portrait, are anything but neutral. In classic Trump fashion, they deliver praise and criticism with little attempt at subtlety, transforming what might otherwise be a ceremonial display into a bold statement of presidential judgment.
Perhaps the most striking example appears beneath the entry for former President Joe Biden. Rather than a traditional photograph, the display features an image of an autopen — a choice that some have described as symbolic. The plaque beneath it declares: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History.” It goes on to claim Biden took office “as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States” and presided over “a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction.”
The description was so lengthy it spilled onto a second plaque, which further alleges Biden was “dominated by Radical Left handlers.” It concludes with a triumphant note, asserting that “despite it all, President Donald Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!”
By contrast, the plaques dedicated to Trump’s own presidency are glowing. His first-term description highlights his defeat of “16 other candidates in the Republican primary” and credits him with creating “the Greatest Economy in the History of the World.” It also praises Operation Warp Speed, saying Trump saved “millions of lives around the World” during what the plaque calls his “Historic First Term in Office.”

The plaque covering Trump’s second term strikes a defiant tone, celebrating his political comeback after what it describes as “unprecedented Weaponization of Law Enforcement against him.” It ends with a familiar refrain: “THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”
Former President Barack Obama does not escape criticism either. Referred to as Barack Hussein Obama in the display, he is labeled “one of the most divisive political figures in American History.” The plaque faults him for passing the “highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act” and accuses his administration of presiding over the creation of the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax,” which the plaque calls “the worst scandal in American History.”
Even Ronald Reagan, long revered by conservatives, received a “Trumpified” treatment. While largely positive, Reagan’s plaque emphasizes his connection to Trump, noting that Reagan “was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump’s Historic run for the White House.” It adds that Trump, in turn, was a fan of Reagan.
The Reagan plaque concludes by praising “The Great Communicator” for restoring “National Confidence, Spirit, and Will,” recounting his 1984 landslide reelection and strong approval ratings upon leaving office — all while tying his legacy neatly into Trump’s narrative.
The updated Walk of Fame leaves little doubt about its purpose: it is not a bipartisan history lesson, but a vivid, unapologetic reflection of how President Trump views the lineage of American leadership — with himself firmly at the center.
