Trump arrives in a garbage truck after Biden calls his followers "garbage"

 

Donald Trump utilized a garbage truck as an election prank on Wednesday, while President Joe Biden's confused comments about the Republican's followers diverted the White House campaign and caused Democratic contender Kamala Harris a headache.

Harris had intended to use the day to elaborate on her "closing argument" from the previous week, which she presented at a large rally in Washington the previous evening. However, she ended up rejecting Biden's comment that seemed to call Trump voters "garbage."

Trump, who, in contrast to Harris, has recently referred to his political rivals as "garbage" in public, was available to take advantage of the blunder with a photo opportunity, getting inside a garbage truck at a Wisconsin airport and fielding questions from media.

The controversy began over the weekend when a Trump rally warm-up speaker referred to Puerto Rico, a US commonwealth, as "a floating island of garbage." The comments immediately placed the Republican campaign on the defense.

However, Biden's blunder gave Trump the chance to seem like the victim.

"How do you feel about my trash truck? From the truck's cabin, Trump declared, "This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden."

Later, while still sporting his high-visibility jacket, Trump continued at his rally in Green Bay, "You can't be president if you hate the American people, which I believe they do."
However, when Republicans expressed their disapproval of Biden's comments, the anti-Trump political organization The Lincoln Project posted a video from the Republican's September 7 rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he referred to "the people that surround" the vice president as "garbage." AFP confirmed the footage.

Prior to saying, "And it's not her, it's the people that surround her," Trump had attacked Harris on employment statistics. They're jerks. They want to destroy our nation, and they are scum. They are complete trash.

In the meantime, Harris continued his focus on three of the seven battleground states that might decide the outcome of the closest election in recent US history by traveling to North Carolina and then Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
