ANOTHER VIEW: Actions of presidential children bring disgrace to the office

But let’s be real. Hunter is unquestionably a total bum, playing on his family name. However, so are the Trump kids, if anything, more so. And, despite GOP screaming, absolutely nothing has ever been proven to show that Joe Biden has done anything wrong.
