Hunter Biden slams Trump for profiting off the presidency and getting a pass.

Hunter Biden slams Trump for profiting off the presidency and getting a pass.

Hunter Biden blasted Donald Trump and his family on Sunday for monetizing the presidency and raking in billions all while Republicans in Congress turn a blind eye.

“I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did,” Hunter wrote on Twitter. “250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months, the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.”

Biden then listed several ways in which the Trump family is profiting from the presidency through business deals from the Middle East to the Pentagon:

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

Biden noted that while he was subjected to years of congressional hearings and investigations into his foreign dealings and the contents of his laptop, Trump and his family have been given a pass.

“Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry,” he wrote. “For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop? Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family? They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.”

House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY.) led an investigation of the Biden family over alleged self-dealing and influence-peddling. House Republicans also launched an impeachment investigation examining whether President Biden improperly benefited from Hunter’s foreign business dealings. The investigation uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by the elder Biden. But Comer ultimately released a report that claimed Biden participated in a conspiracy to enrich his family.

According to Trump’s latest financial disclosure, he has generated more than $2 billion in income in 2025, his first year back in the White House. That is more than triple his reported income from the year before. Trump raked in more than $1 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency ventures.

Comer defended Trump and his family monetizing the presidency by arguing that the president campaigned as a businessman and is transparent with his corruption.

“The difference between the way the Trump family operates and the Biden family is they’re admitting they’re doing this,” Comer told CNN. “The president campaigned as a business guy.”
