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.

    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.

    “Delinquent Don” was right there though

    Or “Deadbeat Don”

    Biden’s mean-nickname game is bullshit

        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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
