Hunter Biden — the crack-addled son of a president who sold access to foreign adversaries — is mocking Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize ambitions from the comfort of his keyboard, confident that accountability will never touch him.
Biden took to X on Thursday to sarcastically nominate Trump for the Nobel, writing: "I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump... for the Nobel Peace Prize. No President in History has ended the same war so many times." He called Trump "Our Dear Leader" and noted that by CNN's count, Trump has declared the war with Iran over "at least 38 times." The Oregonian reported the full post, in which Biden added: "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It's a record worthy of the Nobel committee's recognition."
The White House fired back with a statement from spokesman Davis Ingle: "Just like Sleepy Joe, Hunter Biden's brains are fried potatoes. We wish him and his family well during this difficult time," according to HuffPost.
Here's the real story. The U.S.-Iran conflict began February 28 with Operation Epic Fury — a massive U.S. and Israeli airstrike campaign that killed Iran's Supreme Leader and targeted military installations across the country, The Oregonian reported. Iran responded by firing missiles and drones at U.S. bases and Israel while shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. In mid-June, the two sides signed a temporary 60-day truce called the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. Trump has characterized the deal as a massive victory, claiming Iran is "negotiating on fumes." But critics, foreign policy experts, and some of Trump's own former advisers say the truce has been repeatedly violated by fresh drone exchanges and that the agreement postponed rather than resolved the conflict's core disputes.
So there's plenty to criticize about how this war has been managed. But the spectacle of Hunter Biden — a man who traded on his father's name to collect millions from Burisma and Chinese state-linked interests — lecturing anyone about earned honors is something else entirely. HuffPost framed the post as Biden "troll[ing] Donald Trump on Thursday right where it hurts" and noted Trump has "long coveted the Nobel." The Oregonian highlighted the policy substance behind the sarcasm — a war that keeps getting declared over but isn't.
Biden has been making the podcast rounds lately, appearing on shows across the political spectrum from Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" to Candace Owens and Gavin Newsom's programs, according to The Oregonian. A comeback tour for a man who should be facing questions under oath rather than cracking wise on social media.
The Bidens sold access to the Oval Office. Nobody went to jail. Now the son trolls a sitting president about a peace prize from the cheap seats. The untouchables always gloat loudest when they know the fix is in.
