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.

    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.
