Donald Trump Taunts Hunter Biden as He Leaves Board of Chinese Investment Firm
Breitbart ^ | 13 Oct 2019 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/13/2019 10:58:02 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Donald Trump continued taunting former Vice President Joe Biden’s son on Sunday after Hunter Biden announced he was stepping down from a Chinese investment firm. “Where’s Hunter? He has totally disappeared!” Trump wrote.

Hunter Biden’s lawyers released a statement on Sunday announced that he would step down from the board of the private equity fund backed by Chinese state-owned investment entities. After visiting China with his father in 2014, Hunter Biden secured a $1.5 billion investment.

In his statement from his lawyer, Hunter Biden promised not to serve on any other foreign-owned companies if his father was elected president.

That prompted Trump to question Hunter’s other possible financial ties.

“Now looks like he has raided and scammed even more countries!” Trump wrote. “Media is AWOL.”

It is unclear whether Hunter Biden will divest his business interests in the Chinese-backed investment firm, despite stepping down from the board.

Trump pressured Hunter Biden’s questionable business ties during a pair of back-to-back political rallies last week.

“For a guy to walk in from off the street with no experience, a bad track record, just got thrown out of the navy, and he walks away with $1.5 billion?” Trump said.

He mocked the media for failing to pursue the story, asking “Where’s Hunter?” a question that the campaign turned into a best-selling t-shirt.

Hunter also stepped down from the Ukranian Energy firm Burisma in April 2019, after the media questioned his ties to the company while former Vice President Joe Biden was leading efforts to reform Ukraine.

Things are looking obvious.

Didn't Joe just say that Hunter was going to campaign with him?

Yeh....sure....right...

Looks like Hunter picked a bad year to quit cocaine. Hopefully he’ll find solace in the loving arms of his dead brother’s wife.

There's only one reason for Hunter Biden to campaign with Quid Pro Joe:

So the Biden campaign can pay him $100,000+ per month as a "campaign consultant" ... which enables the family to enrich themselves at the expense of Biden's stupid donors.

Donald Trump Taunts (fill in the blank) ... is the most fun headline ever. President Trump doesn’t just vanquish, he kicks them in the behind on the way out the door.

re: “find solace in the arms of his dead brother’s wife”

Hunter got married in July 2019 — I think it was shortly after they met - like 10 days — and shortly after another gal filed a paternity suit and a DNA demand from him

Wait. Did Hunter marry someone other than his dead brother’s wife? That two-timing scumbag.

Hunter already dumped his dead brother’s widow (after leaving his wife, the mother of his children), knocked up some 28 year old chick in Arkansas, and then he married yet another chick, this one is half his age.

Says Corrupt Daddy Plugs Biden: “He’s a fine young man. He’s been through hell!”

CBS Radio news said he was leaving the position ..”From which he got no personal benefit.”

I think I scared the guy in traffic beside me, laughing so hard.

Somebody should ask how Hunter Biden got a direct commission as an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve in the first place. A direct commission means no boot camp, no sleeping in barracks etc. Hunter Biden was over 40 years old when he was commissioned as an Ensign. Most Ensigns are about 22 years old.

Joe’s campaign is already over. He just doesn’t know it yet.

That was going to be his resume' enhancer when he eventually ran for political office.........

Whoa. I didn’t know that. And that was right around the time that women were allowed to serve alongside men on ships. Or did Hunter have his own private ship?

“Joe’s campaign is already over. He just doesn’t know it yet.”

yeah, it really seems that way, but he’ll hang on until at least the South Carolina primary (unless some definitive evidence of his corruption emerges) ...

There are programs where the Navy directly commissions people with certain expert qualifications. Public Affairs( no pun intended) and Intelligence ( no pun intended ) are two. There are age limitations which were waved for him.
