Trump targets Biden’s final stretch
Donald Trump wants the truth. He’s pushing a full investigation into who actually ran the White House in Biden’s final days.
He claims Biden wasn’t mentally fit—and that someone else was in charge.
Was the President of the United States just a figurehead?
Suspicion over the AutoPen
At the center of the storm is the AutoPen, a mechanical device used to sign official documents.
Trump says the device was abused. He questions whether Biden personally approved laws and executive orders—or if someone else used the AutoPen without authority.
His biggest concern? That a so-called shadow president was calling the shots from behind the curtain.
Enter Anthony Bernal
Anthony Bernal, 52, was Jill Biden’s chief of staff. But Trump insiders say Bernal had much more power.
Some now believe Bernal acted as the real decision-maker—far beyond his official role.
He allegedly overruled top aides and managed day-to-day operations. More than Biden’s actual chief of staff.
That’s why many in Washington now whisper the same name: shadow president.
Congress demands testimony
Republican lawmakers aren’t sitting still. They’ve launched hearings and issued subpoenas.
Bernal and several others in Biden’s inner circle must testify under oath.
Lawmakers are hunting for evidence that Biden wasn’t mentally present—and that Bernal operated as commander-in-chief in all but name.
It could be one of the biggest power scandals in modern U.S. history.
Public cries foul
Across social media, outrage is building. Americans want to know the truth.
One post went viral: “If we had a shadow president, what kind of democracy is this?”
Even former Biden voters are starting to raise eyebrows. The idea that a staffer could quietly run the country has triggered a nationwide debate.
Legal shockwave looms
If Biden wasn’t truly authorizing key decisions, legal experts say major consequences could follow.
That includes executive orders, federal appointments—even Hunter Biden’s pardon.
Trump’s team vows to challenge any decision linked to the shadow presidency.
Outlook: scandal, revenge, or reckoning?
As Congress digs deeper, more names could surface.
Bernal’s testimony could open the floodgates. Jill Biden, other staffers—even cabinet officials—might get dragged into the spotlight.
Trump sees this as vindication. His supporters see it as the collapse of the Biden presidency.
Whether Bernal truly acted as a shadow president remains to be proven. But one thing’s clear—America is watching, and Washington is nervous.Tools
