Who just paid $500,000 to buy a painting from novice artist Hunter Biden? We don't know.
Art dealer Georges Berges says the names of various buyers will be kept confidential. But Hunter’s art is being priced between $75,000 and half a million – an impressive sum for a neophyte, particularly one with no formal training.
But before anyone gets too impressed, let's think for a minute how convenient this arrangement might be for anyone wanting to buy access to the president of the United States.
Art is subjective. Who is to say just how much any piece is worth? The purchases are confidential. Who is to know if it's a foreign government, a drug cartel, or a Ukrainian oligarch buying access to the artist or his family?
This guy is an opportunistic sleaze. Say what you want about the Trump kids, they never sunk this low. Same deal when the Clintons were selling influence for donations to the Clinton Foundation when she was a senator and then Secy of State.
