In the world of politics nothing is certain, and Donald Trump once again shows that he likes to surprise. The president announced that he will void all documents signed by Joe Biden using an autopen (a device that automatically applies signatures).
What Exactly Did Trump Announce?
According to CNN, Trump stated: “Every document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden using an autopen, which amounts to about 92% of them, is hereby voided and has no further force or effect.” The statement was posted on Truth Social and quickly spread across the media. Trump emphasizes that he wants to revoke most of Biden’s executive orders, but he is focusing on those signed by machine.
The Guardian recalls that Trump himself used an autopen in the past, which adds irony to the whole situation. Similar reports can be found in the Wall Street Journal and ABC News, where legal experts warn of potential chaos in the administration.

All documents signed by Sleepy Joe Biden using the autopen, which is about 92% of them, are hereby voided and have no force. The autopen cannot be used without the express consent of the President of the United States.
Radical left lunatics surrounding Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the presidency away from him. I hereby void all executive orders and any other documents that were not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people operating the autopen acted illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process, and if he claims he was, he will be charged with making false statements. Thank you for your attention!

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. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given…

The autopen is a device invented in the 1930s that allows signatures to be applied automatically to thousands of documents. U.S. presidents, including Thomas Jefferson (though in a primitive form), Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, used it to sign letters, diplomas and even laws. Biden used it often because of his age and the burden of his duties.
However, Trump attacks it as a lack of personal involvement. Critics point out that voiding documents on this basis may be legally questionable: is a machine signature less valid? Experts from CBS News suggest 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 common.
Statistics: Trump claims that 92% of Biden’s documents were signed with the autopen, though there is no official confirmation.
Implications: It could affect hundreds of executive orders and lead to court cases.

@m0nkert: “And he’ll repeat the Błaszczykowski penalty from Euro 2016” – a playful reference to football.
@LisukThe42082: “Trump voiding documents signed with the autopen is now at the level of: ‘how to find a pretext to throw everything from the predecessor in the trash’”.
@bomsiarz: “He is already pathetic with this obsession over Biden”.
@altphotos_pl: Shared a meme, and @zaypod138 added: “We could use such an autopen xD” with a funny picture.
This is not just political theater. Voiding the executive orders could:
Affect the economy: Reversing environmental or trade regulations.
Trigger court cases: Lawyers are already preparing challenges.
Divide society: Trump’s supporters see it as “cleansing,” while opponents see revenge.
The Times of Israel highlights the global dimension: how will this affect international alliances? Al Jazeera adds that it is an escalation of attacks on Biden.
