Donald Trump turns autograph joke into swipe at Joe Biden
As the children worked on their drawings, Trump playfully suggested that his signature could turn into something valuable for them.
"Then tonight, you could sell them for $25,000 on eBay," Trump joked, getting a round of laughter from those nearby. The comment seemed to land well with the kids and adults alike, keeping the mood light.
But Trump quickly shifted gears, taking the opportunity to reference Biden in his own trademark style. “Biden would use the autopen,” he said.
“He was incapable of signing his name, so they’d follow him around with this big machine. You know what it was called? An autopen!”
