Joe Biden Mocks Trump’s Money Woes as the Ex-President Hawks Bibles for $59.99

Donald Trump received a major reprieve on Monday when a panel of state appeals judges reduced the $464 million bond he must pay the state of New York to $175 million, and gave him an extra 10 days to do it. Still, the ex-president’s financial situation remains far from good, and one person who was very happy to point that out this week—and basically call Trump a broke bitch—was Joe Biden.

Yes, at a fundraiser in Raleigh on Tuesday, the president, trying out some new material, told the crowd: “I know everyone is not feeling the enthusiasm. The other day, a defeated guy came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, I’m being crushed by debt—completely wiped out.’” Then he paused and delivered the line: “I had to look at him and say, ‘Sorry, Donald, I can’t help you’.” As The Washington Post reports, the joke “is emblematic of [the Biden] campaign’s effort to flip the script on the presidential race since the State of the Union address. With rapid-fire fundraising, busy campaigning, and jabs at Trump’s finances, Biden is trying to reverse the perception that his campaign is flagging and suggest it is Trump who is the feeble figure.” Campaign aides have reportedly taken to referring to Trump as “Broke Don” and “Low-Energy Don,” while the Biden-Harris HQ X account has mocked the ex-president’s ability to type, speak, and spell:

…and for bragging about winning a pair of golf awards from his own club:

As for Trump’s financial outlook, in addition to the hundreds of millions he could owe both New York and writer E. Jean Carroll, should his appeals in those cases ultimately fail, his campaign has just $33.5 million in the bank compared to the $71 million the Biden campaign has on hand. While Trump received an on-paper windfall when his social networking company, Truth Social, went public on Tuesday, as the Post notes, he is prohibited from selling his shares for six months, and by that point, they may be worth far less than they are today. (Also, he has lawyers to pay for four separate criminal cases.) Which may explain why the least holy person on Earth has taken to hawking bibles for $59.99 a pop.

Per Politico:

The former president took to Truth Social Tuesday to urge his supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible”—a $59.99 Bible inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s song. “Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,” Trump posted, linking to a website featuring the books. While money from the sales is not being funneled to Trump’s campaign, according to the Bible’s website, Trump did license the agreement—which means he’s likely profiting from it. “GodBlessTheUSABible.com uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness, and image under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms,” the site says.

Trump has already hawked trading cards, pieces of a suit he wore when he became the first former president to have his mugshot taken (alongside copies of the mugshot), $399 branded sneakers, and stake in his social media company.

Trump does not appear to have commented on Biden’s joke about his money problems, but he’ll presumably angrily lash out when he finds the time.
