Trump disparages presidential foes in plaques attached to White House [View all]

The White House this week added plaques featuring brief biographical write-ups below photos of the former presidents on the Trump's "Walk of Fame," which was installed along the West Wing's colonnade in September.

Some of the biographies read like standard historical summaries, only with slight Trump twists. John F. Kennedy's plaque refers to the 35th president's "painful setback" from the "failed Bay of Pigs Invasion." The plaque for Harry S Truman calls the Democratic president's domestic agenda, known as the Fair Deal, a "so-called Fair Deal."

"Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American history," reads Biden's plaque, which is situated below a photo of an autopen in place of Biden, the 46th president.

Barack Obama's plaque refers to "Barack Hussein Obama" and calls him "one of the most divisive political figures in American History." It goes on to say Obama passed "the highly ineffectual 'Unaffordable' Care Act," while also taking a shot on Obama's foreign policy with Iran.

Karoline Leavitt issued a statement calling these "eloquent descriptions" and added, "As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself."
