The Trump campaign is desperately trying to make the election a referendum on Hunter Biden, a man who is objectively cool and gets sweet do nothing dollars while fucking and partying, because the White House doesn't want you to think about about its bungling of Covid.
In short, they're trying to recreate the "But her emails!" scandal from the 2016 election but they fail to recognize the following:
1) Hillary had roughly 30 years of cottage industry Clinton Murder Conspiracy cranks making a living on casting her and Bill as evil incarnate, whereas Biden was just VP and nobody outside of Delaware knew who he was before 2008. The average voter's understanding of Biden prior to 2016 was "Obama's VP" and maybe some Onion articles about Biden washing his Thunderbird in the White House driveway while crushing cans of Miller Lite.
2) Attacking the nominee's son for not being perfect doesn't land outside of people who live in the moneyed class like Trump, who send off their failsons and hide them from the public eye. Regular people can relate to the idea of a relative or friend who didn't live up to their potential due to addiction. In fact, people tend to like a person more when someone insults their child and they say, "I know he's not perfect but he's my son and I love him." That is a relatable and normal experience for a large number of Americans.
3) They just have no idea what they're doing in general, nor do they understand how they won in 2016. So they're tossing shit at the walls and praying any of it will stick. They are desperate for ideas, and even if the ideas don't land they at least keep the conversation off of the president's disastrous track record with Covid.
Like I can't imagine how much of a dumbass you have to be to think Trump paying a porn star to watch Shark Week with him while cranking his yank, which Stormy Daniels described as "mushroom shaped," is fine but Hunter basically being a private citizen who recorded himself having sex once is A Step Too Far.
In short, the dumbest people to walk the Earth, Trump supporters, are hoping that personal attacks on someone who isn't running for President and will not be involved in the new administration will somehow move people to not vote Biden. If you genuinely believe attacks on Hunter's character will move the needle then you are stupid person who spends too much time online.
