President Biden’s reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trump’s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival “Broke Don” on Thursday.

“Not a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,” the campaign wrote in an email. “Trump can’t raise money, isn’t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”

Election filings made public Wednesday showed Trump’s 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million. It has about $42 million in cash on hand. 

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign operation raised roughly $53 million in February, which gave it $155 million in cash on hand entering March.

Don't let Trump's bad news stop you from working for Biden.

Biden needs a super majority in Congress to undo decades of GOP rule.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

The Democratic party needs a supermajority for years (decades) if the actual left wing wants to have any voice in U.S. politics.

The GOP needs to go away, the Republican party is a party of failed policies. The only thing that needs to be conserved is the planet and peoples health and they're failing miserably at both.

“Delinquent Don” was right there though

Or “Deadbeat Don”

Biden’s mean-nickname game is bullshit

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Delinquent is way too long a word for Trump.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

His followers would think it is a compliment. Or just beat you for using "them fancee ass collijj werds"

This made me laugh out loud... 😝

[-] meleecrits@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I'd have gone with "Donnie two pennies" myself.

[-] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I would suggest Dementia Don but mocking someone's disability is Trump's mo

This feels like exactly the sort of thing that will cause Trump to lose his shit.

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 42 points 6 months ago

This AND forfeiting properties next week. 🤞🤞🤞

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I'd love to see it. The amount of butthurt he, as well as many of his sympathizers, had when the feds showed up to - checks notes - retrieve classified documents that he stole - was epic and I cannot imagine how much weeping and wailing there will be if tiny d starts getting assets seized.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago

Calling out now: someone is going to get arrested for showing up at one of the properties with a gun to "defend it."

Trump will do nothing to de-escalate the situation, (will probably make it worse) and then will distance himself from it when the guy gets shot.

He's broke and asking his supporters for money, he's literally a bum.

A bum isn't a homeless person. A bum is that guy who probably has a home, but he doesn't work, doesn't follow rules, always asks you for cigarettes, always borrowing $5 he's never going to pay back. The leech, the parasite who contributes nothing. Trump is a bum.

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

Let's call him Wimpy: "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamberder today."

[-] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

That's an insult to Wimpy, but OK.

“I know not everyone’s feeling enthusiasm. The other day a defeated man … came up to me and said, Mr. President I’m being crushed by debt, I’m completely wiped out,” Biden said. “I had to say, ‘I’m sorry Donald, I can’t help you.’”

This is pretty funny too. I hope Biden keeps saying stuff like this lol

Lol @ the name calling. We are on a fast track to Idiocracy.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 18 points 6 months ago

Trump has brought a lot of terrible things to the forefront of American politics but the name calling is probably the most annoying, even if it's not the most damaging.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 months ago

Sadly, that film was quite prophetic.

I think one of his biggest fears is being realized recently: he's not worth anything close to what he claims he is, and it's on full display for everyone to see

[-] Zier@fedia.io 14 points 6 months ago

Let's see how much money trumpty dumpty has on March 25th? FatDonnie is the perfect example of "too big to fail", he believes his wealth can protect him from everything, but his fake facade keeps falling off. I can't wait to see the utter mess before the election.

I hope broke don sleeps well on his cock shaped pillow
