Donald Trump has done it again, and this time, the mainstream media is unwittingly helping amplify the chaos surrounding President Biden’s pardons. Recently, Trump asserted that Biden’s autopen-signed pardons were “void,” a bold claim that has sent shockwaves throughout the liberal press corps. In what looks like a masterclass in media manipulation, Trump has not merely waded into the puddle of political scandal; he’s cannonballed into it, drenching everyone involved.
Predictably, the left-wing media scrambled to prove him wrong, with notable figures like MSNBC’s Katie Phang lamenting Trump’s “illegal” intentions. It seems the media is either willfully ignorant or in denial about the power struggles unfolding within the White House. This is a classic case of the media desperately trying to stick a Band-Aid on a gushing wound—meaning they previously ignored Biden’s peculiar use of an autopen and are now scrambling to cover a story that has already become a national sensation thanks to Trump’s audacious claim.
As the liberal media churned along in their well-rehearsed routine of “let’s ignore the obvious,” Trump swooped in like a hawk. It’s hard to ignore the sheer hilarity of watching news outlets like CNN twist themselves into pretzels trying to dissect whether Trump can counter Biden’s autopen-signed pardons while avoiding the far juicier question: Why does Biden even need an autopen in the first place? The real story here is the doubt surrounding Biden’s cognitive capabilities and whether he can effectively govern without his office staff signing off on critical documents.

During a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made the savvy move of flipping the narrative back to Biden. Instead of falling into the trap of defending Trump’s authority to challenge the pardons, Leavitt zeroed in on the very real concerns about Biden’s cognitive state. It’s a solid tactic—if the Democrats claim Biden knew about the pardons, they’re forced to confront the disturbing thought that a president might be too out of the loop to aware of his own signature being used.
The questions raised were not hypothetical. What if Biden didn’t authorize these pardons? What if his signature was just another feather in the cap of a questionable presidency? The left can bark about Trump exceeding his authority all they want, but each barking dog just brings more attention to the original story: Biden’s cognitive decline, lurking just beneath the surface of all this political drama. Passing the blame back to the Biden administration puts them on the defensive, a position they are clearly struggling to maintain.
As media outlets strain to disprove Trump’s statements, they unwittingly continue to feed the narrative. Each rebuttal only serves to highlight the glaring issues surrounding Biden’s presidency and the apparent need for a major PR overhaul. Another day, another chess match—and it appears Trump has just made a brilliant move. The episode serves as a reminder that in politics, sometimes the best strategy is sheer audacity. Whether it’s through bold declarations or clever media trolling, Trump finds a way to keep the ball rolling and the conversation lively. Let the left have their tantrums; meanwhile, the rest can only chuckle as they witness this political drama unfold.
