President Biden’s reelection campaign has dubbed former President Trump ā€œBroke Don,ā€ taking a strategy out of Trump’s playbook that his political rivals know all too well.

Trump has used nicknames — from ā€œLittle Marcoā€ to ā€œCrooked Hillaryā€ to ā€œLyin’ Tedā€ — to put down a variety of opponents. For much of 2020, Biden’s moniker, courtesy of Trump, was ā€œSleepy Joe.ā€

Now, the Biden team is seeking to turn the tables in attempting to make one stick to Trump while it worked this week to highlight the former president’s lagging fundraising numbers in the 2024 race.

    Hey, democrats tried ā€œwhen they go low, we go highā€ for 40 years and look where that got them.

    Now they’re trying ā€œwhen they go low, we knee them in the fucking face.ā€ I say good on them for trying something different for a change.

      That’s not what’s happening though.

      Republicans do shady stuff to change laws and regulations and get thing dones.

      Dems still don’t so that, but now our politicians want to do memes and other stupid shit the Quibi creator thinks is popular with kids.
