Going all out! 82-year-old Biden, suffering from cancer, decisively strikes back at Trump, insisting that his precious son must not get into trouble!
Trump ordered on Wednesday, instructing government officials to investigate Biden's use of an automatic pen to sign documents.
Biden has used an automatic signing pen multiple times to sign legislative documents during his presidency—previous U.S. presidents have done this as well, but the issue is that Trump questions Biden's 'cognitive impairment,' suggesting that when using the automatic pen, he might not be aware of the specific contents of the documents.
A related statement from the White House stated: 'Although Biden has cognitive impairment, he has signed more than 1,200 presidential orders and issued more pardons and commutations than any other U.S. president.'
Clearly, Trump is targeting the pardons—if it can be determined that the orders signed with the automatic pen are invalid, then the pardons would naturally also be invalid.
Biden signed a pardon for his son—Hunter Biden—during the final period of his administration, and Trump's move clearly hits old Biden's soft spot.
On the same day that Trump issued the order, Biden, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, released a statement countering Trump's investigation order, emphasizing, 'Any executive orders and pardons I signed during my presidency were decisions I made.'
Since Trump took office, Biden has rarely made public statements, so his swift rebuttal against Trump this time indicates he is genuinely anxious.
