Not disregarding his shitcoin but calling hunter biden a politician is a bit of a reach

I don't think its that much of a reach, sure he's never been elected to public office, but he spent almost a decade as a lobbyist(and in the US lobbyists can often have more influence on government policy than the politicians they lobby, and certainly provably more than the general public) in DC https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/hunter-biden-comprehensive-timeline/ so at the minimum he's 'In Politics'

Same as Jared Kushner. Unelected politicians.

Not a politician but definitely part of the political class

But conflating them to be the same as trump or every other member of his family is laughable. They literally had Jared Kushner making deals (supposedly) to end the war with Ukraine
