President Bidenā€™sĀ reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trumpā€™s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival ā€œBroke Donā€ on Thursday.

ā€œNot a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,ā€ the campaign wrote in an email. ā€œTrump canā€™t raise money, isnā€™t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.ā€

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

Meanwhile, Bidenā€™s campaign operationĀ raised roughly $53 millionĀ 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. Thatā€™s why I think it would get under his skin so, so thoroughly; heā€™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 ā€œBroke Donā€ can read as a play on ā€œbroke downā€

      Donnie Rotten, kinda as a nice ring, but doesnā€™t speak to the finances as well.
