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.

“Delinquent Don” was right there though

Or “Deadbeat Don”

Biden’s mean-nickname game is bullshit

Delinquent is way too long a word for Trump.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

His followers would think it is a compliment. Or just beat you for using "them fancee ass collijj werds"

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Just tell them it means elegant, they'll never know the truth

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

He came up with DeSanctimonious 🤷‍♂️

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

You got me there.

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.

This made me laugh out loud... 😝

[-] meleecrits@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I'd have gone with "Donnie two pennies" myself.

[-] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I would suggest Dementia Don but mocking someone's disability is Trump's mo

As RealFknNito said up thread (for me):

Defunded Don

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I definitely think Delinquent Don would beat Presy Joe in a yo mamma competition.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Thing is, tiny d would have to have his mic cut to trade barbs in a fair way. He has a habit of interrupting everyone and dumbasses tend to think he's doing Sick Burns just because of his Gish Gallops...

How about, Del. Do?
