President Donald Trump has told a rally in Nevada that a recent “email scandal” involving Hunter Biden shows the entire Biden family is a “criminal enterprise,” which is aided by the mainstream media and big tech companies.
President Trump said the scandal, which involves a NY Post expose detailing links between Joe Biden, his son and a corrupt Ukrainian businessmen, shows corruption is endemic within the Democratic establishment.
“In 2016, you voted to fire this corrupt and decrepit political establishment and you elected an outsider as president who is finally putting America First,” President Trump told the packed rally in the key state of Arizona. “Joe Biden, is and always has been, a corrupt politician. “
As far as I am concerned, the Biden family is a criminal enterprise. “The Biden’s make Crooked Hillary Clinton look like an absolute amateur.”
The Biden campaign has denied the vice president used his office to further his son’s business deals. However, emails retrieved by a laptop reportedly owned by Hunter Biden show he planned to introduce his father, the then Vice President, to an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
President Donald Trump repeatedly took aim at his “corrupt” opponent Joe Biden and his family during a campaign rally in Nevada. The president called out the Biden family as a “criminal enterprise” and sparked chants of “lock him up” from the crowd of supporters gathered to see him at the airport in Carson City on Sunday.
Trump targeted the Democratic presidential nominee and his political record, focusing much of his criticism on Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings as he praised last week’s explosive New York Post report.
“They’re corrupt people. But Joe Biden is from a failed and corrupt political class,” Trump said as he spoke about the reports revealing emails discovered on a laptop that showed the younger Biden’s activities in Ukraine and in overseas business while his father was serving as vice president in the Obama administration.
“Joe Biden is and always has been a corrupt politician,” Trump said as loud chants of “lock him up” broke out. “He always has been. And as far as I’m concerned, the Biden family is a criminal enterprise. It really is.”
While the president continued, calling out the Democrats working with the liberal media and Big Tech oligarchs to undermine him, he continued his line of attack on Biden during the campaign event and the “horrible, horrible laptop.”
“Joe is far more corrupt than Hunter…Joe’s getting a piece of everything. They have it in the email,” Trump said. “Joe he’s corrupt. And you know what, they found the laptop. They call it the laptop from hell,” Trump said at one point. “Let’s see what happens with it.”
The president also took to Twitter to slam the Biden “scandal.”
@realDonaldTrump Hunter Biden’s laptop is a disaster for the entire Biden family, but especially for his father, Joe. It is now a proven fact, and cannot be denied, that all of that info is the REAL DEAL. That makes it impossible for “50%, or 10%” Joe, to ever assume the office of the President! 8:50 AM · Oct 18, 2020
@realDonaldTrump Joe Biden is a corrupt politician, and everybody knows it. Now you have the proof, perhaps like never was had before on a major politician. Laptop plus. This is the second biggest political scandal in our history! 10:39 AM · Oct 18, 2020
When Trump was speaking about his 2016 rival Hillary Clinton, someone in the crowd apparently yelled the familiar phrase “lock her up” but the president corrected and said, “no, lock him up.”

The president also fired a shot at Biden on handling the coronavirus pandemic, appearing to mock the Democrat for telling him to “listen to the scientists.”
“If you vote for Biden … he will surrender your future to the virus,” Trump said. “He’s going to lock down, this guy wants to lock down. He’ll listen to the scientists.”
“If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression instead of, we’re like a rocket ship. Take a look at the numbers,” he said, before taking aim at Democrat governors who continued to keep their states closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
