Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into Joe Biden's actions during his presidency, accusing aides of a "conspiracy" to "deceive the public about Biden's mental state".

In this latest move to discredit his predecessor, Trump took aim at the aides' use of an autopen - a device that replicates signatures which presidents, including Trump, have used for decades - to sign executive actions.

"This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history," Trump said on Wednesday.

Biden slammed Trump's move as "ridiculous", saying his claims are aimed at distracting Americans as his administration works to extend tax breaks for the wealthy.

The point, like much of the rest of what he does, is to distract the media from focusing on (and especially investigating) matters of more importance (or things that embarrass him, like TACO trading). He's still using the position the most misguided &/or authoritarian-loving voters entrusted him with to enrich himself and feed his ego, as always.

Just pointing out Trump is obviously busier golfing than he is with this. There's nothing to be gleeful about here.

Revenge against former political opponents? Sounds about right.
