New plaques installed by Trump in the White House to sum up US presidents

Donald Trump has taken aim at his predecessors by setting up a new, brutal, walk of fame within the White House.

The US president has installed a series of portraits of former presidents in the historic building, accompanied by large gold frames – and complete with descriptive plaques.

Only Joe Biden is the exception, as an image of an autopen replaces his portrait.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each president and the legacy they left behind.

“As a student of history, many were written directly by the president himself.”

A brief introductory sign explains the display was “conceived, built and dedicated by the President Donald J Trump as a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad and somewhere in the middle.”

With capitalised prose very similar to the US President’s........
