Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : " Trump also seemed to briefly back away from the extraordinary idea he had just posted.
40% : After he made the post, Trump was asked on Air Force One if he had ever used an autopen.
40% : The autopen narrative started to fall apart Monday afternoon, when the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked during the briefing whether administration lawyers had told Trump that he had legal authority to undo pardons signed using an autopen.
36% : "In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!" The use of an autopen is not new; it apparently was first used to sign a bill into law at the direction of a president in 2011, when President Barack Obama was traveling in Europe and wanted to sign a piece of legislation that Congress passed extending the Patriot Act another four years.
29% : "The 'Pardons' that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen," Trump wrote in a post on social media Sunday night.
