In an unconventional display, former President Donald Trump donned a fluorescent orange and yellow vest as he posed in front of a garbage truck branded with his own name before climbing aboard. This stunt was in response to recent remarks by President Joe Biden, who had referred to the Republican candidate's supporters as "garbage" in a recent speech.
Speaking from a Wisconsin airstrip, Trump expressed his outrage towards Biden and attempted to deflect criticism from a recent New York rally where a comedian insulted Puerto Rico this week. With the election countdown underway, the savvy former president seized Biden's comments to his advantage, declaring that his supporters "are not garbage," and blaming the current administration for the country’s issues.
Trump's Theatrical Political Statements
"Do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden," Trump quipped, suggesting that both should be ashamed of their leadership. "I could tell you who the real garbage is, but we won't say it," he stated, addressing a group of journalists.
Throughout his third presidential campaign, Trump has employed eye-catching props to underscore his political messages, such as wearing an apron during a visit to McDonald's, where he accused Kamala Harris of lying about her experience with the fast-food chain.
Political Fallout and Reactions
"I hope you enjoyed this garbage truck," Trump concluded before leaving, honking the vehicle's horn. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has distanced herself from Biden's remarks, which dealt a blow just hours after she capitalized on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's blunder at a Trump rally in New York, where he referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage."
