Donald Trump climbs into garbage truck in stunt to call out Biden, Harris

Donald Trump, no stranger to trash talk, pulled out props on his campaign stop in Wisconsin.

Donald Trump, no stranger to trash talk, climbed into a garbage truck decked out with his campaign decals Wednesday, an apparent response to President Joe Biden appearing to call his supporters “garbage” earlier this week.

The day-before-Halloween cosplay took place during a campaign stop in Wisconsin. Trump departed his private plane in Green Bay and, donning a bright orange safety vest, shakily climbed into the sanitation vehicle, which was labelled with Trump’s “Make America Great Again!” slogan.

Speaking to press who had gathered at the photo op, Trump asked, “How do you like my garbage truck?” adding that it was “in honour of Kamala (Harris) and Joe Biden.”

He proceeded to say the president “should be ashamed of himself.”

In case you’re confused, Trump was reacting to Biden’s response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend.

When addressing the racist joke Tuesday, Biden appeared to turn the insult back on Trump’s supporters, calling them “garbage” during a Zoom call with a Latino voters organization.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American,” Biden said on the call, although the president later walked back the comment and clarified that he meant to target “the hateful rhetoric” against Latinos seen at Trump’s Sunday rally in New York City.

The White House, too, has attempted to clean up the mess, insisting Hinchcliffe was the sole target of Biden’s comments. They pointed to a transcription of the call, with showed Biden saying “supporter’s” – in singular – not “supporters.”
