Hunter Biden has reignited a long-standing feud with the Trump children, calling them out for "(reaping) the benefits of their family name."
In his new memoir, "Beautiful Things," Biden calls the Trump kids -
"Do you think if any of the Trump children ever tried to get a job outside of their father's business that his name wouldn't figure into the calculation? My response has always been to work harder so that my accomplishments stand on their own," Biden said.
Biden is president Joe Biden's middle child and was a prime target of the Trump family in the run-up to the 2020 election. He was accused of, among other things, profiting off shady Chinese investments and having dubious connections with Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings.Biden has since been cleared of any wrongdoing.
He recently said that he "didn't realize" his work with Burisma would become a political burden for his father to carry. In a BBC interview, Biden added that Burisma had seen his name "as gold," and that the Biden name - which was both a "privilege and a burden," had "opened doors that wouldn't be opened up to other people." Don Jr. and Biden previously feuded over who had benefited more from their famous fathers' public service.In March 2020, Don Jr. tweeted that he wanted Biden to "man up" and "debate (him)".
"I was an international businessperson before my father got into
Eric Trump also joined the fray, commenting to Fox News that Hunter Biden was "enriching himself off his father's position."
"Why is it that every family goes into politics and enriches themselves? It's sickening," Eric Trump said.
