President Donald Trump has installed a series of plaques in the White House that sharply criticize Democratic presidents, including one mocking former President Barack Obama, per NBC News.
The plaques, found along the White House colonnade, lie below portraits of each past president, including Obama, whom Trump refers to as "Barack Hussein Obama" and calls "one of the most divisive figures in American History." Obama's plaque also takes aim at the Affordable Care Act, which Trump dubs as the “highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act." In its writing, the plaque criticizes the Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate accords and repeats Trump's long-standing claim that Obama “spied” on his 2016 campaign and presided over what it calls the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”
Obama’s plaque is part of a broader display that includes a scathing description of former President Joe Biden. That plaque labels Biden “Sleepy Joe Biden” and “the worst President in American History.” It further accuses Biden of “severe mental decline,” blames his policies for inflation and immigration challenges, and ties his presidency to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and global conflicts.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump authored the text of “many” of the plaques.
“The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind,” Leavitt said in a statement, adding that “many were written directly by the President himself.”
Unlike the former Democratic presidents, Trump's plaque praises his first and second terms, highlighting tax cuts, deregulation, immigration policies, and foreign policy actions.
The White House declined to share how the plaques were funded or installed.
