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.

      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.
