25. That makes no sense to me.

Should it be more? That I could get on board for. But no matter the amount, Hunter Biden is entitled to every penny that's left after his lawyers and the IRS get paid. The money that was awarded to him by the court was the outcome of a personal defamation suit between him and a person who repeatedly defamed him. He is NOT obligated to share it with anyone else.

He's a private citizen, not a shady politician or some disgusting billionaire who's getting richer every minute like some people we could name. (I don't know what his net worth is, but I'd be willing to bet he's a long way from that.) This is a guy who has made some mistakes in his life but has cleaned up his act.... and has stayed that way while being dragged through the mud too many times to count, for no reason except who his father is. He deserves this settlement and then some.
