President Biden mocked Trump and Trump's financial woes during a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina on Tuesday.

“The other day, a defeated guy came up to me and said: Mr. President, I’m being crushed by debt – completely wiped out,” Biden began during the campaign fundraiser.

“I had to look at him and say: Sorry Donald, I can’t help you,” the president quipped.

But Biden’s joke in North Carolina on Tuesday came the same day that Trump’s media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, was listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker “DJT” following a lucrative merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp.

The recent merger between Trump Media and Digital World Acquisition Corp. reportedly ballooned Trump’s net worth by an estimated $4 billion. Trump – now worth an estimated $6.4 billion – is set to be listed on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index of the world’s wealthiest 500 people.

Tuesday was not the first time that President Biden joked about Trump’s financial troubles.

The 81-year-old president made a similar joke last week as Trump struggled to find $454 million so he could fight the massive civil fraud judgment against him in New York.

“Just the other day this defeated-looking man came up to me and said: Mr. President I need your help. I’m in crushing debt. I’m completely wiped out,” Biden repeated during a campaign event in Dallas, Texas last Wednesday.

“Donald, I’m sorry,” Biden quipped, again. “I can’t help you.”

An appellate court reduced Trump’s $454 million appeal bond down to only $175 million on Monday.

The court also gave the ex-president an additional ten days to post the $175 million before Attorney General Letitia James, on behalf of the state of New York, could start seizing Trump’s assets.

“I greatly respect the decision of the appellate division and I’ll post the $175 million in cash or bonds or security or whatever is necessary very quickly within the 10 days,” Trump said on Monday. “I thank the appellate division for acting quickly.”
