Hunter Biden charm offensive even has Trump talking 2028 as former first son tries to rewrite scandal-plagued history
WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden is marking his seventh year of sobriety with a social media blitz that’s taking the internet by storm.Hunter, 56, began posting on his X account last month after years of dormancy, a move so surprising some wondered if the messages were fake. The account proved both genuine and a hit, quickly amassing nearly half a million followers, most of whom have cheered Hunter’s purported honesty and dry sense of humor.

It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine.I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that.”“Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle.
The cowards [sic] way out.The guilt.
The shame.The hurt.
The absolute misery of it.Yet here I am.
And I am not alone.There are millions upon millions of us.
