Biden’s Secret ‘Cheat Sheets’ Exposed Sparking Backlash

In a revelation that underscores just how scripted Joe Biden’s presidency really was, newly uncovered documents from the National Archives show that Biden was spoon-fed note cards with photos, biographies, and even pre-written reporter questions during his time in the Oval Office.

The palm-sized “cheat sheets” — stamped with the phrase “PRESIDENT HAS SEEN” — were quietly prepared for the 46th president in order to guide him through public appearances. The material reads like training wheels for a commander-in-chief who, many critics say, never had the mental sharpness to do the job.

One card prepared for Biden ahead of the January 2025 Medal of Freedom ceremony included a photo of Hillary Clinton alongside a reminder that she “was the Secretary of State in the Obama-Biden administration.” Another contained the face of actor Denzel Washington, described by staff as “one of the greatest actors of the 21st century.”

Even high-profile Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Dick Durbin came with visual reminders. Biden’s handlers reportedly provided him with their names, titles, and photos before speeches celebrating judicial appointments.

“Imagine needing a picture of Chuck Schumer to remember who he is,” one Republican staffer told us Tuesday. “This wasn’t a president. It was a nursing-home resident running the country on cue cards.”

Perhaps most damning is the discovery of cards featuring questions from reporters — word for word — before press conferences even began. One note prepared for Biden read:

“2024: How do YOU view the path forward? How do YOU think about YOUR place in history?”

A handwritten note at the top of the card read: “Question #3.”

That same question was later asked by ABC News reporter Mary Bruce during a Rose Garden press conference in April 2023, raising serious concerns that the White House was coordinating with friendly journalists to protect Biden.

The current Trump administration wasted no time in drawing a contrast.

“President Trump gives unfettered access to the media and answers every question imaginable, without pre-screening the press questions or collecting reporters’ palm cards like his incompetent predecessor,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told us. “Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is actually running the country — not being run by his staff.”

A senior Trump press official also confirmed that the current White House does not solicit reporters’ questions ahead of time and does not prepare “cheat sheets” with faces and names.

The revelation comes as investigators continue to probe Biden’s use of an “autopen” — a device staff allegedly used to sign executive orders, clemency grants, and even foreign policy documents without Biden’s direct involvement. President Trump ordered the probe earlier this year, saying the practice may have allowed Biden’s aides to govern behind his back.

Concerns about Biden’s mental state had already reached a breaking point during the 2024 campaign season, when his debate meltdown against Trump forced him to withdraw. Axios reported at the time that Democrat donors were “spooked” by his constant reliance on scripted cards.

For many Americans, the unearthed note cards confirm what they suspected all along: Biden’s presidency was more stage-managed performance than genuine leadership.

“Every day we find out a little more about how fake it all was,” said Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), who sits on the House Oversight Committee. “This wasn’t a presidency. It was government by flash cards.”

With Trump back in the White House, Republicans argue the contrast could not be clearer: one president relied on handlers to feed him names, faces, and even press questions, while the other thrives on unscripted exchanges and direct confrontation with the media.
