Biden campaign calls Trump ‘Broke Don’ after he lags in fundraising
thehill.com
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.
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
Delinquent is way too long a word for Trump.
His followers would think it is a compliment. Or just beat you for using "them fancee ass collijj werds"
Just tell them it means elegant, they'll never know the truth
He came up with DeSanctimonious 🤷♂️
You got me there.
Trump definitely knows the word. He used it in reference to NATO recently.
Why he know the word so familiarly when it is indeed a little above his usual reading level is left as an exercise for the reader. That’s why I think it would get under his skin so, so thoroughly; he’s heard it before and it speaks to the little part of his brain that likes to whisper things to him about himself that he cannot bear to hear said.
Plus “Broke Don” can read as a play on “broke down”
Donnie Rotten, kinda as a nice ring, but doesn’t speak to the finances as well.
This made me laugh out loud... 😝
I'd have gone with "Donnie two pennies" myself.
I would suggest Dementia Don but mocking someone's disability is Trump's mo
Dimwit Donald
I definitely think Delinquent Don would beat Presy Joe in a yo mamma competition.
Thing is, tiny d would have to have his mic cut to trade barbs in a fair way. He has a habit of interrupting everyone and dumbasses tend to think he's doing Sick Burns just because of his Gish Gallops...
As RealFknNito said up thread (for me):
Defunded Don
How about, Del. Do?
This feels like exactly the sort of thing that will cause Trump to lose his shit.
This AND forfeiting properties next week. 🤞🤞🤞
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.
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.
That's a fair point. I've seen how concerned the rabid right wing was for property (over life) during the BLM protests; imagine if that property was attached to tiny d.
Good.
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.
Let's call him Wimpy: "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamberder today."
That's an insult to Wimpy, but OK.
There used to be a chain of burger restaurants in the UK named after that character. They had a burger called the Bender.
Edit: apparently still going, but they rebranded the Bender as the Bendy for... reasons.
Can we bring back "scrub"?
“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
Defunded Donald
Lmao
Lol @ the name calling. We are on a fast track to Idiocracy.
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.
Sadly, that film was quite prophetic.
Even the Crocs.
Well we haven't had fast food and electrolyte drink wars, yet.
At least one fast food joint tickled the idea of Uber-style surge pricing for their food before going back on it from the backlash. Fast Food wars are just a matter of time.

...one day later...
Exactly who I was thinking of. I just cannot believe they thought that would go over well. Someone surely got fired over that idea.
I’m glad I missed your other comment until now, or I’d have not known about this yet!
Glad some companies understand failure instead of doubling down.
We had the Chicken Sandwich War.
Brawndo! It's got electrolytes!
Dumpster Diving Donny.
Destitute Donny
"Dumb Don" has a ring to it.
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
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
Lumpy cock-shaped MyPillow
“Better Woke Than Broke.”
How dare you use my magic against me potter
Sounds like a nickname he would come up with
I guess tiny d needs to sell more gaudy golden sneakers and pictures of him with muscles.
Serious question, why add fuel to the fire? It seems like calling attention to it could....call attention to it? Isn't this how we got here in the first place?
obvious from the comments why better candidates will never win
people would rather vote for a system that consistently fails them and then blame other voters for why the country is in the shape it is in
Trump definitely should not win but that alone should not qualify Biden
wonder what would happen if all the other people like myself who are not allowed to vote and participate in this "democracy" were just for the sake of argument able to vote
Feel confident placing a wager that Trump and Biden both would lose by landslides in that scenario
Good reason why US makes sure that the dissidents here are unable to vote and participate
Fuck's sake not this again
I'll just post a link to some factual debunking from yesterday of this little Goebbels-presentation. As happens every time, you weren't able to say any of it wasn't accurate, and abandoned the conversation when it got too much into boring "this is what happened and what didn't happen" land.
Lol. It's funny because people literally say "Biden didn't do anything". No, it's Trump that didn't do anything (except cut taxes on the rich).
Trump literally stopped spending on a plan to fight a pandemic, right before it actually happened. He's so broke and stupid (and fat).
Hey now, don't forget that he also fucked up the economy by starting a trade war with China.
And badgered the Fed to cut interest rates in 2019 because the previous two things mentioned were about to start a recession all on their own, which meant there wasn't as much room for lowering them when we really needed it due to the pandemic (which he also made worse by firing the pandemic response team).
Really, the more you think of it the more you realize Trump did lots of stuff -- it's just that all of it ranged from self-serving to incompetent to malicious.
Don't forget that after the pandemic started, rather than simply giving money to hospitals to fund them buying extra PPE, his Department of Health was seizing PPE shipments literally right off the trucks and "redistributing" them at a significant markup. It got bad enough that some states started flying in shipments at remote airports in the dead of night like they were dealing cocaine in the 80s.
Oh cry me a fucking river. You're not being persecuted for your beliefs. The victimization from you is insane.
Why can't you vote? Is it because you are a felon?
Now hold up there... why can't you vote?
Disenfranchisement is a pretty serious issue and it doesn't happen lightly.
Some states ban felons from voting, some don't. But other than that, so long as you haven't done something silly like renounce your citizenship, you should be able to vote!
After careful consideration of their debate style, I've come to the conclusion that they cannot vote because they are, in all likelihood, about 12-15 years old.
Who would win in that case?
both Trump and Biden should do the right thing and step aside
Biden is using the fall of Roe v. Wade to raise funds and he signed some executive order on women's health research or something that amounts to very little when he could have used the same amount of energy and paper restoring women's rights
Trump did nothing to advance the country forward and is fund raising on extreme far right comments such as christian ideologies
not allowed to vote but if was allowed to definitely would not vote for either corporate owned party
Biden is far from perfect and the people of the USA do deserve better choices... But to pretend Biden is anywhere near the vicinity of bad as Donal Trump is simply veiled simping for Trump
GOP speaking when they are ahead. "We're ahead because we are smarter and more moral than the idiot Leftists."
GOP speaking when they are behind. "Both sides are the same."
Maybe Taylor Swift can explain it better: We are never ever ever getting different nominees.
These are the candidates. The end. And I would vote for a moldy cumsock if the alternative is Trump. But Biden has done surprisingly well given the hand (Congress and the supreme court) he was dealt. We could do so much worse.
Hmm. I’m interested in getting more info on this Moldy Cumsock candidate. What are their positions on abortion as healthcare, housing reform, and immigration reform? Who is their running mate? (I hope it’s Skidmarked Underwear, I’ve heard good things about them)
Big proponent of debt discharge. Also their infrastructure plan involves large erections. They've voted several times for beautifing the landscape. Their health plan encourages lots of pushups. Overall, it's a platform many people would fall to their knees for.
Ya know? I thought your previous comment would have beeny favorite one for today, but then you went ahead and whipped out this beautiful piece!
i'm still workshopping it but i think it's a worthwhile endeavor. i'm open to more re-writes or suggestions.
Abortion rights can't be changed by order of the president. It takes an act of Congress or The Supreme Court. Biden did what he could by allowing abortion pills to be sold by mail across state lines.
Can you explain exactly how Biden could have used "exactly the same amount of energy and paper restoring women's rights"? Be explicit and specific, please.
They absolutely cannot.
crickets
instead putting effort into this

he could have just restored what the Supreme Court took away instead of signing executive orders for "more research on the matter"
go to playbook for democrats - research this problem but never find solutions
would it not have been the same amount of work and paper signing? or does he just need something to run on and fundraise for?
It doesn't work that way. The President cannot override a SCOTUS ruling - only Congress passing a law, or the Supreme Court reversing one of their own rulings, can do that.
Restored it how. Give specific, explicit steps. Don't state a goal and then assume that he can set the goal and it happens. There are specific actions he would take to do this. What are they?
I remember when I was 14, too. Things aren't as simple as you want them to be, champ.
Yeah, but they won't and the primaries are effectively over, so making this argument at this point is basically fascist propaganda.
You aren't fooling anyone.
Now that's not fair... there are some conservatives here that might fall for his propaganda.
Whatever chief. Both sides are not the same.
The president is not a king...
There's no reason for a sitting President to step aside and not run for a second term. Johnson did it in 1968 because, I think, a) he had already served part of JFKs term + his own term and b) he was tired of Vietnam.
Neither of which is applicable in Biden's case.
Second, Biden can't do anything to restore abortion rights, that is not in his power.
The Supreme Court struck down the ruling of a previous court, now it's on the House and Senate to either pass a new law or a new Constitutional Amendment. Neither of which Biden has anything to do with.
