Who really opened the southern border?
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Joe Biden wasn’t running the White House for four years, and that a group of staffers and relatives were making significant decisions behind the scenes.
With the help of the autopen, of course.
During a press conference in the Oval Office on Friday, President Trump suggested that the U.S. southern border wasn’t opened by Joe Biden — but by staffers controlling his autopen signature.
Trump said the autopen will be “one of the greatest scandals of all time.”
“I think the autopen is going to become one of the great scandals of all time because you have somebody operating it, or a number of people operating,” Trump told reporters. “I knew Joe Biden, Joe Biden wasn’t in favor of opening up borders, letting 21 million people into this from prisons and mental institutions and gang members. He wasn’t into that at all. And, you know who signed these? Who signed these orders, proclamations and all of the different things that he signed that said our country so far back?”
“I understand he signed almost everything with an auto-pen. It’s a very dangerous thing. It really means you’re not president,” Trump added in his comments to reporters Friday.
“I don’t believe it was Joe Biden, I really don’t,” Trump reiterated. “He wasn’t a person that was in favor of transgender for anybody that wanted it, to take kids out of families, etc., etc.”
