Trendiggity Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Looks like Donald Trump has taken his campaign to a new level—trash talk, literally. On his way to a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, the former US President was spotted riding shotgun in a garbage truck emblazoned with “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” slogans. The unusual choice of ride seemed to be a not-so-subtle jab at President Joe Biden, following comments Biden recently made that were interpreted as labeling Trump supporters as “garbage.” The garbage truck led Trump’s motorcade as it rolled into Wisconsin, and the former president was seen waving to crowds and reporters alike. The vehicle was covered with Trump 2024 branding, making it clear that this was no ordinary campaign prop. Trump quipped, “How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.” Images of Trump in the truck quickly went viral, shared widely by his campaign team on social media. The comments that inspired this stunt were made by President Biden during a virtual call with Latino voters. Biden aimed to criticize what he called hateful rhetoric at a recent Trump rally, but the phrasing sparked backlash, not just from Trump’s supporters but even within his own party. Vice President Kamala Harris distanced herself from the remarks, stating she “strongly disagree[s] with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.” The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to the rhetoric, not the supporters themselves, though by then the firestorm had already taken off. With the 2024 election around the corner, Trump’s garbage truck stunt underscores the intense and often theatrical rivalry between him and Biden. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4962923-trump-rides-garbage-truck-to-seize-biden-comment/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2024/10/30/trump-takes-questions-from-garbage-truck-as-campaigns-seize-on-each-others-garbage-remarks/ https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-garbage-truck-wisconsin-1b9b2882b59639ba0dc898b0b45e395b https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/billionaire-trump-dresses-up-garbage-truck-driver-1235148279/ Opening image: Team Trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
