The autopen is a standard administrative tool used by presidents across party lines for decades, and Biden personally authorized every document signed with the device as required by law. Trump himself admitted to using autopens for correspondence, making this attack pure political theater designed to distract from real governing challenges. The display represents petty vindictiveness rather than presidential leadership.
There is a 50% chance that Trump will sign 595 executive orders during his second term as President, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
