Donald Trump has replaced a portrait of ex-President Joe Biden with a picture of an autopen in a mocking swipe at his Democrat predecessor.
On Wednesday, the lampoon to Mr Biden was unveiled at the brand new Presidential Walk of Fame outside the White House's West Wing.
Mr Trump's team shared a video on social media depicting a series of black-and-white portraits of America's former presidents.
When the camera pans to Mr Biden's, a picture of an autopen drawing out his signature can be seen instead of his official White House portrait.

An autopen is a device used to replicate a human signature, being programmed to imitate the exact style of a person's autograph while holding a physical pen.
Mr Trump has frequently blasted former Mr Biden over his use of the device to sign off on official documents.
The President has also labelled his predecessor's time in office as the "autopen presidency".
He claimed the thousands of pardons issued by Mr Biden in his final days in charge using the device were invalid, as Mr Biden allegedly had no idea what the documents on which he was signing off entailed.

During his State Visit to Britain last week, Mr Trump told reporters: "It was illegally used. He never gave the orders.
"He never told them what to do. And I guess the only one he signed, or one of the few he signed, was the pardon for his son."
In June, the President ordered an investigation into Mr Biden's use of autopens - and whether figures within his Democrat administration covered up his diminishing cognitive state.
US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin pledged to examine whether those around the former President were "taking advantage of him through use of autopen or other means”.

Speaking about the White House's latest stunt, ex-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told GB News that Mr Trump "knows how to get" to the left.
Mr Spicer said: "They blow their heads at everything...he literally knows how to push their buttons".
Explaining how the idea for the gag may have come about, the former Trump staffer revealed the President often chimed in on discussions around potential pranks to play on their opponents.
He added that Mr Trump would have undoubtedly "signed off on it".
Former President Biden has repeatedly claimed that he called the shots during his time in the White House.
After the investigation began, the Democrat said: “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.”
