Trump’s outrageous new slur on Biden and son
DONALD Trump raged against Joe and Hunter Biden at his first campaign rally since the impeachment inquiry began, calling the former vice president an a** kisser and describing his son as a ‘loser.’
‘He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s a**,’ he said of Biden as the crowd cheered and roared.
In a fiery, 102-minute speech to the packed Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the president mocked the intelligence and business capabilities of Hunter Biden.
‘Joe’s son Hunter got thrown out of the Navy and became a genius on Wall Street in two days. Whatever happened to Hunter, where the hell is he? Where is Hunter? Fellows, I have an idea for a new tshirt? I love the cops, but let’s do another t-shirt. Where is Hunter? Where is he?,’ Trump said.
Hunter Biden has stayed out of the spotlight but the former vice president has said his son will join him on the campaign trail, although he did not give a date.
Trump also pushed the unproven theory Hunter Biden made $1.5billion in a deal with China.
‘Hunter, you are a loser, what you have $1.5billion?’ Trump mocked. He compared that to his own negotiations with China as part of his trade war.
‘I’m dealing with people right now, the top Chinese negotiators, and Hunter, Hunter, he goes in and he is meeting and he walks out. With $1.5billion, $1.5billion!’ he said. ‘These are not the same Chinese negotiators that I’m dealing with, I can tell you.’
The $1.5billion appears to refer to the amount BHR, a Chinese equity firm where Hunter sat on the board, was trying to raise. The company was trying to raise the money – not for Hunter Biden’s personal use although he owned a 10% stake in the company. Trump asked China to investigate the matter.
The president also turned his fury on his rival Joe Biden.
‘And your father was never considered smart. He was never considered a good senator,’ Trump said and then added: ‘He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s a**,’ he said.
He charged the Bidens got rich while America got ‘robbed.’
‘The Biden family got rich, and that’s all substantiated. While America got robbed, that is what happened,’ he said.
Trump’s campaign promptly started selling ‘Where’s Hunter?’ t-shirts.
It comes as Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, yesterday told a House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into President Trump that he ousted her based on ‘unfounded and false claims’ after she had come under attack by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Ms Yovanovitch, abruptly recalled as the US envoy to Ukraine in May, appeared for a closed-door deposition, according to Democratic politicians leading the inquiry, after she had been told by the State Department at the behest of the White House not to show up. The lawmakers said they then issued a subpoena for her appearance and she complied.
Ms Yovanovitch, according to a copy of her opening statement to lawmakers posted by the Washington Post, said she was told by a senior State Department official about ‘a concerted campaign against me’ and that Trump had pushed for her removal since the middle of last year
‘I have an idea for a new t-shirt’ ‘A concerted campaign’
even though the department believed ‘I had done nothing wrong.’
She also expressed alarm over damage to American diplomacy under Trump and warned about ‘private interests’ circumventing ‘professional diplomats for their own gain, not the public good.’
The impeachment inquiry focuses on a July 25 phone call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate a domestic political rival, Democrat Joe Biden, and Biden’s businessman son Hunter.
