WASHINGTON — A new mystery is unfolding along the White House colonnade, the covered walkway sometimes referred to as the “45-second commute” that connects the West Wing to the Rose Garden.
On the evening of Sept. 21, reporters noticed brown sheets of paper taped neatly to the wall with blue masking tape , topped by a sign that read “Presidential Walk of Fame.”
The impromptu display is the first visible sign of President Trump’s plan for a “Presidential Wall of Fame,” an idea he has teased in recent weeks as a showcase for past presidents and political figures.
During a recent interview, Trump hinted that the project would feature portraits—including, he has said, a black-and-white “Biden Autopen” portrait referencing his unproven claims about President Biden’s use of mechanical signatures.
Beyond those broad strokes, the White House has released no formal description, timeline or list of honorees. There is no public information on whether the colonnade installation is permanent, or whether the papers spotted Sunday night are placeholders for portraits or plaques.
The colonnade, a historic passageway long used by presidents on their brief walk from the White House resident to the Oval Office, has traditionally remained unadorned.
