Trump Drives Message Home on 'Garbage' Comment

Donald Trump, leveraging a comment by President Joe Biden likening his supporters to 'garbage,' stages a media opportunity by climbing into a garbage truck. He uses the incident to criticize Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris while distancing himself from a controversial comedian's comments about Puerto Rico.

Donald Trump, stepping off his personal Boeing 757 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, created a spectacle by climbing into a white garbage truck emblazoned with his name. His actions were in response to a remark by President Joe Biden, suggesting Trump's supporters were 'garbage,' a comment Trump has used to his political advantage.

Clad in a conspicuous orange and yellow safety vest, Trump quipped, "How do you like my garbage truck?" positioning the stunt as a criticism of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This comes amid backlash against a comedian's derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico, delivered at a Trump rally, which Trump has not condemned.

Despite distancing himself from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's controversial joke, Trump refrained from apologizing, stating he was unaware of the comedian's existence. The spectacle ended with Trump expressing affection for Puerto Rico from the garbage truck, underscoring the ongoing political tensions.
