President Trump was super proud of himself after he signed an executive order in front of the likes of podcaster Joe Rogan and HHS Secretary RFK Jr.—and the secondhand embarrassment is real.

President Donald Trump was super proud of himself after he signed an executive order to make certain psychedelic drugs more available to treat mental health conditions, taking an opportunity to boast about his own signature.

Trump's order approves $50 million in federal funding to expand access to certain therapies and directed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fast-track its review of drugs like psilocybin and ibogaine. He was joined by the likes of podcaster Joe Rogan and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the Oval Office.


Signing his name, Trump marveled at his own signature and took another opportunity to mock his predecessor, former President Joe Biden:

"Oh, that's a good one. Look at that, Joe. Do you think Biden can do that?"

Everyone around him laughed and applauded.

You can watch what happened in the video below.

Trump's words appear to be yet another attempt to suggest Biden's pardons and executive orders are illegitimate.

Trump has previously alleged without evidence that Biden’s pardons were signed using an autopen, citing a report that claimed the Biden White House frequently relied on the mechanical device. The report, published by the Oversight Project, a branch of the Heritage Foundation, has been used by commentators to fuel claims about Biden’s cognitive decline.

The autopen, a machine designed to replicate signatures, which Trump himself has admitted to using, has long been used by public figures, including U.S. presidents, for signing notes and letters.

Trump's boast was another example of his narcissism at work—and didn't make him look of sound mind either.


Trump's order notes that "over 14 million American adults have a serious mental illness, defined as having a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder" and that "about 8 million are on prescription medication for these conditions."

While Trump said his order would expedite the reclassification of psilocybin and ibogaine—currently listed as Schedule I drugs with "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse"—Kennedy, his own Health Secretary, isn't the best poster child for an effort Trump says will save lives.

Kennedy has proposed creating rural "wellness farms" to treat addiction and mental health disorders. Critics argue the proposals emphasize a moral framing of recovery over evidence-based treatment, prioritizing personal responsibility and values rather than modern medical approaches and scientifically supported care.

Kennedy has also ordered The National Institutes of Health (NIH) to gather private medical records from various federal and commercial databases to study autism more comprehensively. In a development that has many advocates concerned and outraged, a new national disease registry is being launched to track Americans diagnosed with autism, and it will be integrated into this broader data collection effort.

Trump Is Now Threatening To Demolish The Kennedy Center If Court Blocks His Renovations—And People Are Livid

President Donald Trump is facing heavy criticism after his administration said in a new court filing that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts "will be required to be taken down" if Trump's name isn't allowed to be added along with his other desired renovations for the building.

The Kennedy Center’s board of trustees voted Thursday to add Trump’s name to the building again, this time with a qualification: the proposed inscription would read, “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.”
