    If Joe Biden and his wife were appropriating US estate taxes to renovate their private rental properties for personal gain it would probably be controversial too.

      Funny how Trump neve gets pulled up by his base for all his corruption. They probably can’t spell it, for a start.

      US estate taxes help maintain the primary residence of Joe and Jill - they help fund staffing for the Whitehouse.

      I agree that these situations are quite different but that article title was outrageously sensationalist and vague.

        Sure. That’s normal. But they’re not renting out the Whitehouse and putting the proceeds into their personal bank accounts as private income.
