Joe Biden Almost Became Reality TV Star Thanks to Son, New Book Claims

Joe Biden’s White House predecessor and 2020 election rival, Donald Trump, was widely dismissed as a novelty candidate before his surprise election in 2016, partly due to his own previous career as a reality TV star on The Apprentice.

US President Joe Biden’s second-eldest son, Hunter Biden, was said to have tried to rope his father and mother, Jill Biden, into making a Kardashian-style reality TV show about their lives.

That’s according to a new hagiography of the president by liberal magazine The Atlantic writer Edward-Isaac Dovere, entitled Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Trump.

When one producer questioned whether the elder Biden approved such an unlikely request, Hunter Biden replied: “I know where the line is. And my dad is understanding of what I am up to.”

Biden’s predecessor and 2020 election rival, Donald Trump, was widely dismissed as a novelty candidate before his election in 2016, partly due to his own stint as a reality TV star on The Apprentice.

The book also claims that the Biden campaign had a media “ecosystem” prepared to suppress the purported scandal over Hunter Biden’s alleged abandoned ‘Laptop From Hell’ a year before it broke — beginning with Trump’s first impeachment over the latter’s attempts to investigate Joe Biden over Biden’s alleged pressure on Ukraine to drop a probe into Hunter’s employer, energy firm Burisma.

One Biden aide reportedly said of the laptop story: “We were able to put it in a box and have the media treat it like it deserved to be treated — which was like a conspiracy theory, and not like it was Clinton’s emails or the crazy parade of accusers at the St. Louis debate.”
