Isn't Hunter Biden a Lawyer? So it is not like he has no credentials right?
I am just tired of the Republicans trying to have rules for Democrats that don't apply to them.

It has been rumored that Don Jr. is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I wonder if the rumors are troo? I saw someone talking about the SNL skit where they make Eric look (shall we say) intellectually stunted, and they said that if you think about it, Eric is the smartest one - he didn't take a position in the government and he has stayed out of the spotlight - leaving Ivanka and Don Jr to be the lightening rod for the media. Every time Junior does something controversial, I wonder if Eric is just over there at Trump corporate having a grand ol' time and laughing it up at his siblings.

Heck, it is becoming more and more obvious every day that the stable genius with the very good brains is not very sharp either. Unfortunately, this will never be obvious to many people who are not very sharp either.

We all believe what we want to believe. Including those who won't admit the truth when it is right in front of them. Extremely difficult for me to believe there are so many that are so stubborn or so unseeing...but they are here in the US! And I'm very stubborn, but can certainly admit when I'm wrong too...when facts are presented...not a bunch of lies.

I was listening to a podcast about Reagan recently. I guess I was too young to pay attention (or maybe his handlers covered it up a little better) but he made some really stupid statements. Like being amazed that South America was all divided up into states. Or telling 'true' stories about war heroes that were actually parts from his movies. And not recognizing the one black guy he had on his cabinet.
Ronnie had a good excuse, though - dementia was kicking in a lot earlier than I realized, and that probably caused most of his verbal stumbles.
Trump, I think, just wasn't that smart to begin with. Canny and ruthless, but not that smart.

Eric always gets portrayed as the dumb one, but I think that's just because Ivanka is the golden child, Don Jr is the bronze one, and Trump's other kids don't merit much comment at all from him.
The assumption is that Eric must be too dumb to get his dad's approval, but I think Eric and Trump's daughter with Marla Maples may just not have the shark like personality daddy likes.
Trump was brutal towards his older brother for the same reasons, his brother was not interested in being a cut throat businessman, he didn't go into real estate, I think he was an airline pilot, or something similar. Both Trump and his father talked disdainfully about him. He was also an alcoholic, but I have to wonder if that was at least partly due to being the goat in the family.

My best guess is that they are trying not to rock the boat that would shut off their income stream, but stay out of the fray that is not going to end well. They are probably the smartest of the bunch.

And let's hope she is smart enough to NOT go to work for Daddy cause he has problems paying his bills! And it's been said that no attorney will meet with him alone cause he changes his story if that happens....more lies, normal! I read years ago, that if the mother was more intelligent than the father, the child would be smarter!...for what it's worth.
