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.

    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.
