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

Trump has used nicknames ā€” from ā€œLittle Marcoā€ to ā€œCrooked Hillaryā€ to ā€œLyinā€™ Tedā€ ā€” to put down a variety of opponents. For much of 2020, Bidenā€™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 presidentā€™s lagging fundraising numbers in the 2024 race.

    If you think this is the first time in American history that our politicians have resorted to petty name calling Iā€™m going to have to assume your lessons in American history stopped sometime in the third grade, right after you traced your hand and colored it in with crayons to look like a turkey.

      Things were worse before, so you cant ever ask for more

      Really should just be Bidenā€™s campaign slogan at this point, heā€™d at least get points for being upfront about it

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

        Now theyā€™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.

          Thatā€™s not whatā€™s happening though.

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

          Dems still donā€™t so that, but now our politicians want to do memes and other stupid shit the Quibi creator thinks is popular with kids.
