  • President Donald Trump has announced plans for a "Presidential Wall of Fame" to display portraits at the White House.
  • Trump teased a controversial black-and-white portrait of Joe Biden, suggesting it would feature an autopen and be unveiled in about two weeks. It was not clear whether the comments were made in jest.
  • The autopen controversy centres on Trump and other Republicans alleging that Biden's staff used the tool for official documents without his full awareness, linking it to claims of mental decline.
  • Biden has denied these allegations, stating he made every presidential decision but used the autopen for specific documents like clemency and pardons.
  • During the discussion, Trump also made unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election being rigged and incorrectly stated Biden had "stage nine" cancer.
