If a RWer didn't pay his taxes would you treat them the same as Hunter? I'm fine with verifying paternity but that's not the way I read the problem. Even Joe doesn't acknowledge that Navy is his 7th grandkid after the DNA was checked. The whole situation reeks.
Trump's company was nailed in NY for tax evasion. It did not change anything. Hunter paid them up. That is something.
Do you really think the president of the US should invite a girl who was born out of a one-night stand between his son and a stripper into the Whitehouse? She is being financially supported. Who wants a constant reminder of a terrible time in his life?
Nothing reeks. It is people reacting as people do. Who knows what they will do in the future? Joe is actually a Christian. I am sure he had mental battles trying to find the right way to handle this.
