President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by installing new plaques at the "Presidential Walk of Fame" in the White House, targeting former presidents with scathing and partisan remarks, particularly aimed at Democratic leaders like Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
The plaques depict Biden as "Sleepy Joe" and label him as "the worst President in American history," while Obama is characterized as "the most divisive political figure," contrasting sharply with a more favorable depiction of Ronald Reagan.
Critics argue that these actions deepen political divides and erode the traditional decorum associated with presidential history, highlighting a trend of historical revisionism driven by Trump's administration.
In a coinciding prime-time address, Trump announced a $1,776 "warrior dividend" for U.S. service members, which has faced backlash for being funded by reallocation of existing military housing assistance rather than new appropriations.
Many view the "warrior dividend" as a mere public relations stunt, aimed at softening past criticisms regarding Trump's treatment of military families while attempting to sway voter sentiment amid rising discontent over his economic policies.
Trump's combative rhetoric and personal attacks against predecessors underscore an ongoing partisan divide in American politics, with observers noting the challenges he faces as he grapples with public frustration over inflation and economic growth.
