President Biden’s reelection campaign has dubbed former President Trump “Broke Don,” taking a strategy out of Trump’s playbook that his political rivals know all too well.
Trump has used nicknames — from “Little Marco” to “Crooked Hillary” to “Lyin’ Ted” — to put down a variety of opponents. For much of 2020, Biden’s moniker, courtesy of Trump, was “Sleepy Joe.”
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.
this is how you prove to people you’re the better alternative to Trump, by doing exactly the same stupid shit he does. good job!
His campaign has put out a number of different types of messaging about what makes him better than Trump aside from this, but — surprise, surprise — you’re only aware of this one, because it grabs attention, which is why his team is trying it!
What pathetic personalities they project to society.
I know I’m in the minority on this but I’ve always felt like Trump truly won when we started adopting his shithead name-calling habits.

Its doesn’t accomplish anything and reduces every argument to finger pointing and smirking.

He’s so much better at it than anyone else cause his supporters don’t care what he does and the rest of us aren’t that beholden to a single politician to proselytize their every word
it’s just so disappointing that the GOP literally has no standards, while the Dems get called out for literally everything they do. Those criticisms can fuck off. The fascists are at your doorstep, you fools.
God forbid the party whose entire platform is “at least we’re not the Republicans” be held to a higher standard than the republicans
Namecalling appeals to morons who have trouble parsing anything more complex.
Morons are a non-negligible proportion of the US electorate.
Yeah, just look at all the people on lemmy and reddit who focus on Trump’s skin color instead of his myriad crimes, piss poor performance as president, and attempted coup.
Personally, I think he can do better. Sleepy Joe vs Donny Doritos Part 2 (because he’s the same color) has a better ring to it.
It’s honestly embarrassing that our political landscape has been reduced to this.
If you think this is the first time in American history that our politicians have resorted to petty name calling I’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 Biden’s campaign slogan at this point, he’d at least get points for being upfront about it
Hey, democrats tried “when they go low, we go high” for 40 years and look where that got them.
Now they’re trying “when they go low, we knee them in the fucking face.” I say good on them for trying something different for a change.
