'Confession noted': Biden trolled as his team taunts Trump over 'bone crushing' fundraising appeal

WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden's re-election campaign team taunted former president Donald Trump by sharing his latest fundraising appeal on social media.

The Republican presumptive nominee's campaign, in a recent email sent to supporters, used the subject line 'Absolutely Bone Crushing' in an apparent attempt to gain sympathy in light of his ongoing criminal trial that kept him away from active fundraising, according to HuffPost.

"Biden raises millions while I'll be stuck in court!" Trump whined to raise more money before the monthly fundraising deadline, which would end on Tuesday, April 30.

Joe Biden's team mocks Donald Trump's fundraising appeal

Biden's rapid response team wasted no time mocking the Republican opponent. Sharing the plea on Biden-Harris HQ's X account, the team wrote, "Couldn't have said it better ourselves."

The online mockery happened ahead of Trump's return to the Manhattan courthouse on April 30 to resume his ongoing hush money trial proceedings. He should be present at every court session during the trial due to the criminal nature of the case.

The historic trial stemmed from the former president falsifying his business record to pay $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to silence her about their alleged sexual encounter.

Trump has a bad reputation for using his legal woes to collect more donations for his 2024 White House race. For instance, last week, he made an appeal via email for contributions, claiming he could be jailed soon. 

"ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IN 24 HOURS," the subject line read. "Friend, in 24 hours, the hearing on my GAG ORDER will begin. I COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL AT THAT VERY MOMENT!" Trump said in the email.

According to fundraising updates, till the end of March, the former president is lagging behind Biden. The incumbent raised more than $90 million last month, ending the first quarter of the election year with $192 million cash on hand. While his predecessor collected only above $65.6 million, closing the month with $93.1 million cash on hand.

However, Trump managed to get donations worth $50.5 million in a private fundraiser in Florida earlier this month.
