Former President Donald Trump has taken to social media to challenge the validity of former President Joe Biden‘s autopen signatures, claiming that such signatures render executive orders and other documents void. During a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House on September 25, 2025, Trump asserted that the majority of Biden’s signed documents were created using an autopen, which he argued undermines their legality.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect.” He further declared his intention to cancel all executive orders not signed directly by Biden, prompting significant backlash. Trump’s claim hinges on the assertion that those operating the autopen did so illegally and that Biden was not involved in the signing process.
Biden, for his part, has categorically denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he made all decisions during his presidency and dismissing Trump’s accusations as unfounded. “The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him,” Trump continued in his social media post. He also threatened that if Biden claimed involvement in the autopen process, he could face perjury charges.
Trump has previously expressed concerns regarding Biden’s use of the autopen, suggesting that it indicates a lack of control over the presidency. In March, he claimed that Biden’s reliance on the autopen rendered his actions as president “null and void.” Following his recent statements, Trump announced plans to investigate Biden’s use of the autopen further, linking it to discussions about Biden’s cognitive abilities.
The implications of Trump’s declarations could lead to significant political ramifications, particularly regarding the executive orders he seeks to invalidate. At present, it remains unclear which specific orders Trump is referencing and how he intends to enforce this cancellation. Biden’s administration has yet to respond to the potential fallout from Trump’s claims or provide clarity on how they plan to address the situation.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, both Biden and Trump are likely to remain in the spotlight, with each side gearing up for what could be a contentious battle over legitimacy and authority in the executive branch.
