Questions about who truly held power in the Biden White House have reached a fever pitch following a revealing interview between Rachel Campos-Duffy and former President Donald Trump on Fox Noticias. The discussion zeroed in on the influence of Jill Biden, with Trump noting her prominent role in presiding over a key Cabinet meeting, fueling speculation that the First Lady may have been far more involved in presidential decision-making than the public realized. This is not just idle chatter—many Americans are rightfully concerned that Joe Biden was little more than a figurehead, with others, including his wife and a cadre of radical advisers, steering the ship.
The controversy deepened with the use of the “autopen,” a device that automatically signs documents with the president’s signature. The Biden administration’s reliance on this tool, especially for signing pardons, has raised serious questions about the authenticity and legitimacy of key presidential actions. While legal experts claim that the Constitution does not explicitly require a handwritten signature for pardons, the Department of Justice itself advised in 2005 against using an autopen for such consequential acts. This is not a trivial matter—if the president isn’t personally signing off on pardons, who is truly accountable? Americans deserve to know that their president is engaged and responsible, not checked out or manipulated by unelected staff and family members.
The lack of transparency and accountability in the Biden White House is alarming. Reports and commentary from the right have long highlighted President Biden’s apparent cognitive decline, with even some in the mainstream media now conceding that he was not fully up to the job. The spectacle of Jill Biden presiding over Cabinet meetings, combined with the heavy use of an autopen for official acts, only reinforces the perception that the real power resided elsewhere. This chaotic decision-making process stands in stark contrast to the Trump administration, where the president was known for being hands-on, decisive, and always in charge of his agenda.
It’s not just about optics—this has real consequences for the rule of law and the integrity of our institutions. When pardons and other critical documents are signed by a machine rather than by the president himself, it undermines public trust and opens the door to potential abuses of power. The American people deserve a leader who is present, accountable, and personally invested in the weighty responsibilities of the office. Instead, the Biden years have left many questioning whether the president was even aware of the actions taken in his name.
As the dust settles on the Biden presidency, these questions will not simply fade away. The American public is demanding answers about who was calling the shots in the White House. The contrast with Trump’s leadership style is stark: Say what you will about his approach, but there was never any doubt about who was in charge. The Biden administration’s reliance on backroom operators, family influence, and mechanical signatures is a troubling legacy—one that conservatives will not soon forget, and one that should serve as a cautionary tale for the future of American governance.
