In the world of politics nothing is certain, and Donald Trump once again proves that he likes to surprise. The president announced that he would nullify all documents signed by Joe Biden by means of an autopen (a device for automatic signing).
What exactly did Trump announce?
According to CNN reports, Trump stated: "Every document signed by Senny Joe Biden using an autopen, which accounted for about 92% of them, is hereby cancelled and has no further power or effect." This statement appeared on the Truth Social platform and quickly spread through the media. Trump emphasizes that he wants to undo most of Biden's executive regulations, but focuses on those machine-signed.
The Guardian recalls that Trump himself used an autopen in the past, adding irony to the whole situation. Similar accounts can be found in Wall Street Journal and ABC News, where legal experts warn against potential chaos in the administration.

Any documents signed by Sleepy Joe Biden by means of an autopen, or about 92% of them, are hereby invalidated and are repealed. Autopen cannot be used without the express consent of the President of the United States.
Radical left-wing lunatics surrounding Biden around the beautiful desk of Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took his presidency. I hereby annul all presidential decrees and any other documents that have not been directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, as those serving the autopen acted illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen trial, and if he claims he was, he will be charged with making false statements. Thank you for your attention!

"I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally." – President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸pic.twitter.com/D5mzIl1Cai
Autopen is a device invented in the 1930s, which allows automatic signing of thousands of documents. U.S. Presidents, including Thomas Jefferson (although in primitive form), Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, used it to sign letters, diplomas or even laws. Biden used it often due to age and responsibilities.
However, Trump attacks this as a lack of personal commitment. Critics indicate that cancellation on this basis may be legally doubtful – is the machine signature less important? CBS News experts suggest that this is a pretext for mass reversal of Biden's policies, from climate to immigration.
Here are the key facts about the autopen:
History: Used by presidents for decades, legal and universal.
Statistics: Trump claims that 92% of Biden's documents were self-signed – although no official confirmations.
Implication: It can affect hundreds of regulations, causing lawsuits.

@m0nkert: "And he will repeat the criminal błaszczykski from the euro 2016" – a humorous reference to football.
@LisukThe42082: "Trump invalidating documents signed with an autopen is already a level: ‘how to find an excuse to throw everything in the basket after the previous one’".
@boomsiar: "He's already pathetic about this Biden obsession".
@altphotos.pl: He shared a meme, and @zaypod138 added: "I could use such an autopen xD" with a funny picture.
It's not just a political show. Cancellation of the Regulations may:
Impact on the economy: Withdrawal of environmental or commercial regulations.
Induce litigation: Lawyers are already preparing challenges.
Divide society: Trump's supporters see in this "cleaning," opponents—revenge.
The Times of Israel highlights the global aspect: how will this affect international alliances? Al Jazeera adds that this is an escalation of the Biden attacks.
