Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, just finished a weeks-long press tour, speaking on numerous different platforms. His appearances have caused a great deal of speculation about a possible 2028 presidential bid.

Biden has entertained the premise on numerous occasions but has not explicitly confirmed or denied his candidacy. Those following Biden wonder if he could be the ultimate dark horse candidate. The answer should be a resounding, an absolute no.

Nepotism has no place in the presidency, as the last presidential dynasty cost us $8 trillion and 4.7 million deaths globally from the ever-productive War on Terror. Being a former president’s son is not a qualifier to run for president. The same goes for Donald Trump Jr., an even more sad and hilarious pitch than running Biden.

Biden has not demonstrated that he is capable of being president, at least not in any positive way. As of now, his credentials are his father, his military service and his left populist rhetoric. Not exactly ideal, but we have had worse presidents.

Speaking of presidents, Biden has many similar traits to a man who became president twice, that being President Donald Trump. The most recent example is Hunter’s crypto coin rugpull, “$LAPTOP.”

Biden presented the coin as being the counter to Trump’s crypto scam, “$TRUMP.” This is possibly the first time in human history that anyone has pulled off a scam faster than Trump, because Biden’s coin lost 95% of its value within one hour of launching, and 99% after two hours.

Similar to Trump, Biden also has a history of disappearing to foreign lands for long periods of time. Nobody really knows what happened when either of those two disappeared, although there are several pictures of Trump with Epstein that gives some pretty clear context clues.

Biden was pardoned by a president to avoid jail time. Trump avoided the sentencing for his crimes by simply becoming the president again. They are so iconic.

Realistically, Biden has yet to demonstrate that he is capable of being president. It should be no surprise, then, that someone as unqualified as him is entertaining the idea.

His press tour drew a lot of attention, especially from people who had only heard of him through the Biden Laptop scandal. He was praised for his anti-establishment, anti-corruption rhetoric. Biden was thought to be genuine and authentic, and then his crypto scam dropped.

To his discredit, Hunter Biden is incapable of condemning the atrocities committed under his father’s presidency. Biden is very cautious when speaking on his father’s record as it relates to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Ultimately, Hunter is too cowardly to call a spade a spade. He acknowledges that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, but he is unwilling to acknowledge that the genocide both escalated to where it is now and continued under the Biden administration.

The initial appeal of Biden is understandable. He seemed genuine and attuned to the needs of the people. Like all members of the political elite, it turns out he believes in nothing. He spent so much time making himself known just to reduce himself to a crypto shill. For that reason and many more, he should be encouraged to stay as far away from 2028 as humanly possible.
