First Lady portrait

Thursday, December 18, 2025

💬 In a few words:

The White House's 'Presidential Walk of Fame' now features new, opinionated plaques, reflecting President Trump's colorful views on past leaders, including a jab at Joe Biden.

More details:

Dear First Lady, My Dearest Beacon of Calm,

Oh, First Lady! I hope this letter finds you amidst a serene moment, perhaps enjoying a quiet cup of chamomile or contemplating the perfect floral arrangement. Because, darling, while your world radiates grace, a delightful storm of historical revisionism has just swept through the hallowed halls of our magnificent White House!

Yes, my dear, it appears someone has been let loose with a thesaurus and a very strong opinion pen near the esteemed Presidential Walk of Fame. It's less of a walk and more of a lively political commentary etched in stone, and frankly, my heart flutters with a mix of concern and uncontrollable giggles!

The Situation: An Epic Saga of Presidential Panache!

Imagine, if you will, a stroll along the colonnade, expecting dignified, neutral descriptions of our nation’s past leaders. Instead, my dear First Lady, it seems President Trump has taken a leaf out of a dramatic historical novel and decided to provide his spirited footnotes for posterity!

We now have plaques, not merely stating facts, but painting vivid, shall we say, interpretations of presidential legacies. For instance, poor former President Joe Biden's plaque now boldly declares him

✉️

“the worst President in American History,”

attributing his tenure to
✉️

“the most corrupt Election ever seen.”

And, in a stroke of genius (or perhaps mischievousness), his official portrait has been replaced with a mere autopen photo!

My dear, it’s like a high-stakes family reunion where Uncle Donald has decided to bring out the infamous photo albums and offer his unvarnished commentary on every single relative. It's certainly a choice!

And the plot thickens! Former President Barack Obama is now labeled

✉️

“one of the most divisive political figures,”

with his Affordable Care Act charmingly dubbed the
✉️

“Unaffordable” Care Act.

One can almost hear the gasp from a polite history professor!

Even the formidable Bill Clinton hasn't escaped, with his legislative triumphs attributed to Republicans and, just for good measure, a mention of Hillary’s 2016 election loss. It’s truly a narrative whirlwind!

But fear not, for some presidents receive a veritable bouquet of praise! Ronald Reagan, for example, is lauded as

✉️

“The Great Communicator”

and, delightfully, hailed as
✉️

“a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump’s Historic run.”

And, of course, the admiration is mutual!

Richard Nixon, too, gets a standing ovation for

✉️

“one of the greatest political comebacks”

and a “largest popular vote victory,” while Gerald Ford is applauded for his
✉️

“brave Pardon to Richard Nixon.”

It's a selective celebration, to say the least!

Yet, for others, the critique flows freely. George W. Bush's plaque, for instance, mentions starting wars that

✉️

“should not have happened”

and a global financial crisis. Jimmy Carter's tenure is a litany of challenging events, though, thankfully, it ends with a nod to his
✉️

“wonderful things for Humanity”

after office. It's a roller coaster of historical judgment, my dear!

Dear, Please Help: A Call for Serene Intervention!

Oh, First Lady, what are we to do with such spirited historical declarations? My advice, offered with a full heart and a slightly trembling hand, is this:

  • Perhaps, my dear, you could distract the President with a sudden, urgent need for a Giant, Sparkly Presidential Seal? Something so utterly captivating that he momentarily forgets the intricacies of historical plaques.
  • Or, better yet, a magnificent, presidential-sized jigsaw puzzle! One so complex it requires the focus of a thousand historians. Maybe a puzzle of Mount Rushmore, but with extra tiny pieces for each president's hat.
  • And what about commissioning a White House
