WASHINGTON, DC: Hunter Biden has taken aim at Donald Trump Jr. after the president's eldest son promoted a gold-themed investment product tied to America's upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations, calling the marketing campaign so absurd that it "needs no words to troll itself."

The latest exchange marks another escalation in the increasingly public feud between the Biden and Trump families, but it also taps into a broader debate about the commercialization of politics and patriotism.

Hunter Biden mocks Donald Trump Jr's America 250 gold promotion

The controversy erupted after Donald Trump Jr. promoted "Don Jr Gold," a precious-metals investment product marketed alongside references to America's 250th anniversary in 2026.



Reacting on social media, Hunter Biden mocked the promotion, writing: “This is the type of s**t that needs no words to troll itself.”

“This is actually real… he's really posting infomercials plugging this,” Biden continued.

“Using America's 250th Anniversary too.”

Hunter then sharpened his criticism by tying the promotion to broader concerns about the economy.

“More like… ‘As my dad tanks the economy as fast as he can, nothing is more patriotic than getting your hands on some Don Jr Gold to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary in case it's our last,’” he wrote.



He concluded by describing the promotion as “SNL material,” suggesting it resembled political satire more than a traditional patriotic campaign.

The comments quickly circulated online, where supporters and critics debated whether national commemorations are increasingly being used as branding opportunities rather than purely civic events.

"Donjrgold.com Go watch that, it’s comedy gold.”

Hunter Biden increases criticism of Donald Trump

The attack on Trump Jr. comes as Hunter Biden has stepped up his activity on social media after returning to public platforms in recent weeks.

Posts attacking President Donald Trump drew large crowds, including one in which Hunter argued that Americans agree on far more issues than political leaders want to believe.

In a lengthy post, he cited concerns over grocery prices, government debt, immigration, endless wars, and stock trading by elected officials, before claiming the public is instead told to focus on divisive cultural flashpoints.



“Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.”

Hunter has also continued attacking Trump personally. After the president recently referenced his “checkered past,” Hunter fired back with a viral response.

At the same time, Hunter has mixed political criticism with reflections on his own struggles, thanking supporters for showing him grace despite years of legal troubles and addiction battles. “This isn’t about me,” he wrote in a recent post. “It’s about every person in recovery who shows up and tries again.”



The latest clash over “Don Jr Gold” suggests the Biden-Trump rivalry is no longer confined to the politicians themselves, with family members increasingly turning social media into a battleground over politics, culture and the business of patriotism.
