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.

    This feels like exactly the sort of thing that will cause Trump to lose his shit.

        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.
