The Hot Topics table was alight with conversation on Thursday about the recently unveiled portrait gallery, which features photographs of past presidents with plaques placed underneath that trash them and their achievements.
“I want to read what [Trump] says about Barack Obama, because we love Barack Obama and it’s wrong of him,” Joy Behar said. “[Trump] writes — and he acts like this is real and history — ‘A community organizer, one-term senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American history.’ Why, because he was Black? Everything is about race with him!”
Newly installed plaques summarizing the legacies as interpreted by the Trump White House of former U.S. Presidents Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush are shown along the colonnade, or the Presidential Walk of Fame, Dec. 17, 2025 in Washington, DC.
