President Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden’s comments about his supporters being “garbage” on Tuesday night.
The sitting president labeled half the country as human “garbage.”
Trump responded in a hilarious way while traveling to a rally in battleground Wisconsin.
While the president’s plane was touching down in the battleground state for the first of two rallies on Wednesday, senior Trump advisor Dan Scavino shared a video of a Trump-themed garbage truck waiting at the airport.
The white truck was decorated with the official Trump “Make America Great Again” campaign logo while sporting both American and Trump flags on both ends of the vehicle.
After exiting the plane, the Republican nominee traded in his suit jacket for a neon vest and took a seat in the cab of the truck.
He then proceeded to take questions from reporters while leaning out of the window.
“How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” Trump said.
President Biden ignited a firestorm on Tuesday night by referring to Trump supporters as human “garbage.”
The president was speaking in reference to a joke about Puerto Rico made by insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe during Trump’s historic rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend. “They’re good, decent, honorable people,” President Biden said of Puerto Ricans. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
The White House has been scrambling to claim that President Biden’s remarks were taken out of context, even though they were made in a taped interview.
“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote in an X post as outrage over his statement mounted. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”
Trump described Biden’s comments as “disgraceful” while speaking to reporters from the cab of the truck on Wednesday, adding that “250 million people are not garbage.”
