Poor Joe. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t catch a break. Now he’s getting flack because his son lives at the White House.
At least that’s how it looks.
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy said that it is “unclear” whether Hunter has been living there full-time, but “we do see him there a lot.”
Regardless of that, for the past six months Hunter has been with his dad an awful lot. Nearly non-stop.
He’s spent weekends with Joe and The Doctor in Delaware, and Camp David, and longer vacations at the borrowed homes of billionaires.
He’s been seen rolling Easter eggs at the White House. Travelling with The Biden Crime Family to Ireland.
Hunter has been belly-to-belly to his dad, going where Joe goes, and observing whatever Joe does as president.
And therein lies the rub.
Joe may think Hunter is the smartest person he knows. He might love his son to the moon and back.
But no one mentions that Hunter has access to confidential information about our country. And Hunter is an addict. An addict who is reputed to sell the U.S. out to the highest bidder.
He’s dangerous.
Joe is the president. He is the man in charge of the country’s security.
Hunter is the last person who should ever be anywhere near anything confidential, or saleable, in the Oval Office. Or the White House.
Or in Joe’s garage in Delaware. But he is. That seems wrong.
There he is, in the White House. In Camp David.
At a state dinner honoring French President Macron in December.
A state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Modi last month. Rubbing shoulders with foreign dignitaries. The people he likes best.
The Modi dinner was particularly questionable, as the event came shortly after the House Ways and Means Committee released evidence from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, implicating Joe and Hunter as “business partners.”
Shapley shared a WhatsApp message from 2017 linking Joe and Hunter to a deal with Chinese businessman Henry Zhao.
“I am sitting here with my father,” Hunter told Zhao.
“If I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you,” he warned, “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction.”
And when Democrats and the media spin it to say Joe wasn't there, or Hunter was probably high at the time of the text, there were photos, on the laptop, that placed Hunter at his father’s Wilmington home on the day he sent the text message.
After all of this, Joe and Hunter scurried off to Camp David at what looked like a last-ditch effort on what the hell to do next.
“Strange to go to Camp David for such a short time,” Laptop from Hell author Miranda Devine tweeted.
“Maybe to have confidential discussions with unknown legal advisers in a heavily guarded place away from prying eyes.”
That sounds about right.
Given Hunter’s toxic baggage, why is Joe keeping his son close?
Some say he is afraid of Hunter. That he is following mob boss Michael Corleone’s advice. “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.”
That sounds about right.
Hunter is dangerous to Joe. He can fall off the wagon at any time, and upset the apple cart. And his father knows it.
Joe saw that this week-end, when cocaine was found in the White House. In the library.
The White House and the media tried to spin it like a game of Clue, but it isn't.
Realistically Joe and Hunter are partners. Joe needs, and wants, the money Hunter brings in. So, Joe will continue to keep his son close.
Not because Hunter’s the smartest guy he knows. And not because he loves him.
But because Joe likes living in the style to which he has become accustomed.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
