Biden Team Taunts Trump With Apprentice Reference After More Than Doubling Fundraising In Feb.

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign taunted former President Donald Trump over their crushing fundraising lead by dropping a reference to Trump’s bygone reality hit The Apprentice.

Biden’s massive fundraising advantage over Trump has been a sore subject with the former president, and according to Maggie Haberman’s well-placed sources has prompted him to seek out help from Elon Musk.

That advantage grew in February, as the Biden fundraising machine more than doubled Trump. In a statement emailed to Mediaite, Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler did a victory dance with a familiar theme in the subject line, which read “With These Fundraising Numbers, Trump Would Fire Himself”:

With These Fundraising Numbers, Trump Would Fire Himself

Campaign Efforts To Raise Money Are Not Going Well.

At All.

It does not take an accountant to see how bad Donald Trump’s February fundraising numbers are.

By the numbers:

Donald Trump raised $20 million in February that is less than half the $53 million Team Biden-Harris raised in February

Donald Trump has less than $42 million cash-on-hand, which is less than one-third of the $155 million cash-on-hand that Team Biden-Harris has.

Fun fact: We raised $10 million in the 24 hours after President Biden’s State of the Union Address – that’s half of what Trump raised in all of February.

In response to Trump’s embarrassing fundraising, Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler released the following statement:

“If Donald Trump put up these kinds of numbers on The Apprentice, he’d fire himself. But here’s why he ain’t got it: his extreme, toxic agenda of banning abortion, slashing Social Security, and promoting political violence is repelling donors and doing exactly *nothing* to earn support from the voters who will decide this election.

“When he’s not hiding out in Mar-a-Lago, he’s calling into white supremecist radio to traffic in antisemitic tropes or saying there’ll be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses. Even if he had the money, it’s not a message the voters would buy.”

The reference is to Trump’s signature catchphrase from the program, which would always end with him telling a contestant “You’re fired!”

Earlier this week, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins also invoked The Apprentice as she mocked Trump’s inability to raise a bond for his fraud appeal.
