Hunter Biden says the U.S. is not as politically divided as it seems. Instead, he believes powerful interests are intentionally fueling conflict because they benefit from it.
In a lengthy post on X, the son of former President Joe Biden said he spent the past several months speaking with people from across the political spectrum, as well as those who have little interest in politics.
Based on those conversations, he reached a conclusion. “We are not a divided country,” he wrote. “We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight.”

A Call for a ‘New New Deal’
Biden argued that the country’s biggest problems are rooted in the influence of wealthy elites. He claimed they have “captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.”
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.

He said he believes in what he called a “New New Deal,” centered on healthcare as a human right, affordable housing for every family and bringing an end to what he described as endless wars.
As AI becomes a bigger part of the economy, more people are asking who should benefit from the money it generates. Biden proposed “a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy,” saying the technology was built on “the whole of human inheritance.”
“That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence,” he wrote.

Biden reserved some of his strongest criticism for President Donald Trump and his administration. He accused them of damaging both the country’s finances and its social fabric.
“Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind,” Biden wrote, “not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it.”
Truth and Reconciliation, Not Revenge’
Despite his criticism, Biden said accountability shouldn’t be driven by retaliation. Instead, he called for “truth and reconciliation, not revenge,” arguing that the country should focus on fixing the systems that allowed these problems to develop.
He ended the post by framing the nation’s challenges through the lens of his own recovery from addiction.
“The question is not whether we will lose our democracy,” he wrote. “The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.”

He concluded with, “I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.”

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market
Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That’s why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn’t tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.
Arrived
Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry.

This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.
Realberry
Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company.
