‘This government was illegally run for 4 years’: Trump vows probe into Biden autopen
President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed an investigation into the Biden administration’s use of the autopen, the electronic presidential signature device, as he said, “This government was illegally run for four years.”
As Trump appeared at the U.S. Capitol to rally support for his “big, beautiful bill” to lower taxes, Trump discussed at length the problems created by a mentally incapacitated Biden.
“We’re gonna start looking into this whole thing with who signed this legislation,” Trump began.
“Who signed legislation opening our border? I don’t think he knew. I said there’s nobody that could want an open border. Nobody. And now I find out that it wasn’t him. He autopenned it.
“Who was operating the autopen? This is a very serious thing. We had a president that didn’t sign anything and he autopenned almost everything.
“He opened the borders go the United States, and I kept saying who would do such a thing, allowing criminals to pour in from all over the world? Not just South America … they came in from Africa, they came in from Asia, they came from the Congo. The prisons in the Congo in Africa, these are rough, rough people. The prisons from the Congo are empty. You know where they are? They’re in this country.
“Who would sign this? Nobody would sign it. No sane person would sign it. You know who signed it? Radical left lunatics that were running our country and the autopen signed it.
“And they didn’t want him (Biden), and they were disappointed in getting him because they wanted Bernie Sanders. And then, after about two weeks, they said, ‘Wait a minute. This is a gift. He’ll do anything. We’re gonna use the autopen.’
“And they used the autopen on everything. He didn’t approve this stuff, because when Joe Biden was with it, he would never have approved it. You take a look. He would never have approved open borders.”

Trump also noted: “Open borders allowed 21 million people in our country, and many of this people are stone-cold murderers.”
“The Democrats are destroying our country,” he continued, as he was optimistic about his tax cuts being approved.
“This is bigger than any Ronald Reagan tax cut,” he explained. “This is the biggest tax cut in the history of our country, or you’ll get a 68% tax increase.”
“It’s the biggest bill ever passed, and we gotta get it done. Tremendous tax cuts for people, tremendous incentives, tremendous regulation cuts … regulations that are so horrible.”
He also said there would be no cuts to Medicare or Medicaid.
“We’re not touching anything. We don’t want any waste fraud and abuse. … Waste, fraud and abuse, that’s all we’re cutting.”
