President Trump says he's terminating all orders Biden signed with autopen

President Donald Trump said on Friday that any document signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen "is hereby terminated."

WASHINGTON, DC -- President Donald Trump said on Friday that any document signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen "is hereby terminated."

"I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden," Trump posted on his social media platform.

It is unclear which orders Trump is referencing and how he is making those determinations. ABC News has reached out to the White House for more information.

Trump claimed that the people who "operated the Autopen did so illegally." But the Justice Department's legal counsel states that autopens are lawful for signing bills into law.

The president has repeatedly fixated on Biden's use of the autopen. In June, Trump claimed Biden aides illegally used the autopen to carry out "radical" policies and ordered the Justice Department and White House to investigate Biden's mental state when he was in office. At the time, Biden issued a statement to ABC News calling the probe "nothing more than a mere distraction."

"Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false," Biden said in the June statement.

Trump has said he has used an autopen for some trivial matters, but criticized its use for pardons.

I've never seen anyone quite as obsessed with anyone else as Trump is to Biden.

Out of all of Trump's mental illnesses, this seems like it's the most strange and really does point to something seriously wrong with him. Normally I'd tell someone to get a restraining order against someone who's this infatuated with them.

How about all of them Trump signed with autopen? Or didn't sign at all and had photoshopped signatures on them that were all identical... not looked the same but were literally identical?

No wonder the Trump administration quietly replaced all of the "identical" Trump EO signatures last week.
