    I think the second and the last ones are pretty good. The other ones strike me as rather derivative and less interesting. My taste do tend to more abstract though.

    These aren't bad but I have little doubt if his name wasn't "Biden" they might not be drawing as much attention and also his art auction coming up seems like a pretty ham handed compromise.

    No reason to keep the buyers identity secret. I am guessing these will be sitting on walls overseas.

    I actually agree that it is a bad look for the president's son to be selling over-valued art, an area known to be rife with money laundering and inflated prices, to people. They can insist that there are blind trusts, divestments, etc. but are too dense to realize that nobody ever reads past a headline for those details.

    If we're going to tar and feather adult children of presidents for leveraging their fathers' clout, Ivanka gets to participate right alongside Hunter.

    Hunter Biden will not know who buys the art and the amount of offers. The dealer is rejecting over-inflated offers. How is this helpful to anyone trying to buy influence?

    You didn't seem to care about the Trumps selling access, btw.

    unlike Javanka, Hunter Biden is not part of the white house.

    Does Donny even think it's a grift worth mentioning or just an appetizer to wet his beak?

    So this is bad but the SC just said you can donate to pacs and keep yourself anonymous and not a peep out of you.

    Typical.

    It is all pretty derivative and uninteresting. That price range is absurd for the work quality and his lack of a bio. His dealer isn’t really quality, either. Mostly seems to represent “self taught” artists. Maybe a higher level equivalent of a commercial tourist gallery.

    I agree, and its also embarassing for this guy to water out all the funds of anyone based on his dad's power. Would anyone buy his art work or it even make it this far if he wasn't born to this guy?
    Be it from china, ukraine, he used to be a registered lobbyist and is almost shameless in how hwe goes about his things. Even doing crack addict stuff and then writing a book the first year his dad is president to water it out like a hero.

    I simply don't get it. Ivanka is a shameless opportunist and her and jared some how ran half the country embarassingly as if we were a monarchy and you don't have to b approved by reps...when you call out that maybe the platform ain't right for the people...the republicans sit there and say "they are obsessed" they have trump derrangement

    and now another embarassing act t towards our governtemnt, yet people just say stop being obsessed with hunter who continues to just squeeze out anything he can from coffers for the biden name.

    its ok man, both shouldn't be allowed, not hard to say

    on the other hand. I would pay 1 million for this art, 10 percent to the big guy if they get me into the white house christmas party this year.
