Before pulling out of the US presidential race, Biden had insisted on multiple occasions that he would not pardon his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Trump\u2019s campaign&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/608538-trump-slams-hunter-biden-pardon\/%C2%A0\">slammed<\/a>&nbsp;the decision as an example of how the current government has weaponized the justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">On Tuesday evening, Trump shared a meme on his Truth Social platform, describing how \u2018Bidenomics\u2019 works in practice. It showed Biden standing beside a whiteboard with a list of items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cYou pay taxes,\u201d&nbsp;the list begins.&nbsp;\u201cI send it to Ukraine. They send it back to Hunter. Hunter gives it to me. Pardon Hunter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hunter Biden was paid&nbsp;millions of dollars to sit on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president of the US and lead on Washington\u2019s relations with Kiev. According to the contents of a laptop the younger Biden forgot at a Delaware repair shop, 10% of all international contracts went to&nbsp;\u201cthe Big Guy,\u201d&nbsp;widely assumed to be a reference to his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Biden officially defeated Trump in 2020 and embarked on an ambitious plan to reinvent the US economy after the Covid-19 pandemic that his advisers dubbed \u2018Bidenomics\u2019. Vice President Kamala Harris, whom the Democrats put forth as their candidate this year, spent the campaign insisting that the economy was in great shape and that \u2018Bidenomics\u2019 was working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">American voters apparently disagreed,&nbsp;handing Trump victories in the electoral college, popular vote, and all seven swing states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/609213-trump-bidenomics-hunter-ukraine\/\">rt<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US president-elect cited funding for Ukraine, nepotism, and corruption US President-elect Donald Trump has mocked his predecessor&#8217;s economic agenda, using a meme involving funding for Ukraine and the recently pardoned Hunter Biden.
