Trump Demolishes Hunter, Talarico, and 'Basket-Case' Platner All in One Hilarious Take on '28 Election

Donald Trump spoke to reporters Thursday from the Oval Office at an event touting the administration’s major new coal‑energy initiative, and, as is often the case, he had some brutal but pointed lines directed toward his political adversaries.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked him the question of the day:

DOOCY: Hunter Biden. He's on social media now, and he has suggested ­— maybe joking, I don't know — that he could run for president in 2028. How would he do, Hunter Biden, in a 2028 Democratic primary?

Trump had a great answer, pointing out that since the Democrats have apparently dropped all standards of decency, maybe Joe’s son would do well:

TRUMP:  You would think that, you know, past is something to do with winning an election, and I would say his past is not the greatest.
[...]

Um, I'm not gonna say bad [things].

I'm sure, you know, hey, if the guy from Maine can do well, I guess Hunter could do well, too, 'cause the guy from Maine is a basket case, and I would say worse than him is the one from Texas, that looks like Alfred E. Neuman.

I would say that if he can do, well, maybe Hunter can do well. I'm not sure, It would be pretty close as far as I'm concerned.

The “basket case” would, of course, be Maine's Democratic nominee for Senate, the scandal-plagued, ethically challenged Graham Platner, who has behaved so badly in his history that a new disturbing report drops almost every single day. The Texan who looks like Alfred E. Neuman, meanwhile, is the Lone Star State Senate "meat-loving" nominee, James Talarico.

Talarico Desperately Tries to Clean Up His 'Cringey Comments,' but Just Makes It Worse

Good comedy is often effective because it shines a light on reality, and excellent satire works best when the story could be true. Trump’s comments here might give you a chuckle, but he’s hit the target: the Dems would seemingly prop up a demon if they thought he could win. Character is irrelevant to them in modern times.

Speaking of despicable character, Hunter Biden has recently become active on social media and is apparently trying to mimic the juvenile Gov. Gavin Newsom press office X account, which tries and fails to mimic Trump and be funny. It’s a weird look for a guy who says he’s in recovery and is trying to rebuild his shattered reputation. Here he was Wednesday echoing Rep. Ted Lieu's (D-36) ludicrous tin-foil hat theory that nobody had seen Trump for eight days (even though he was on TV and at events constantly).

Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.

If the Dems can get behind the freakish Graham and James, why not Hunter? I say go for it. It would certainly be entertaining.

Meanwhile, a reporter asked the president if he had noticed former President Biden’s decline when they met at the White House in ’24. Trump retorted that Biden was never all there:

REPORTER: When you met with Joe Biden, President Joe Biden, right here in the Oval Office on November the 13th of 2024, could you detect any cognitive decline in President Biden at that time?

TRUMP: No, not really. I mean, he was the same guy I've been watching for a long time. 

[...]

He was fine as far as I was concerned. I don't know, something happened to him during the debate. It could have been me.

Gold.
