Executive orders

Donald Trump has declared he intends to cancel most of the executive orders signed by Joe Biden, his predecessor as president of the United States. In a post on social media, Trump claimed baselessly that Biden had not signed off on the orders himself, saying that "the radical left lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him" by signing his name using an autopen - a signature machine, which has commonly been used by nearly all US presidents since the device's invention. Trump himself has also used an autopen in the past for signing certain documents.
