Trump hits Wis­con­sin in garbage truck ‘in hon­or of Kamala and Joe Biden’

For­mer Pres­i­dent Trump rolled up to the bat­tle­ground state of Wis­con­sin in a garbage truck on Wednes­day, an appar­ent ref­er­ence to Pres­i­dent Biden’s remarks about sup­port­ers of the Repub­li­can nom­i­nee, which has caused a firestorm for Vice Pres­i­dent Kamala Har­ris in the final days of a hot­ly con­test­ed elec­tion. 

Trump was pic­tured in Green Bay inside a white garbage truck wear­ing an orange reflec­tive vest with “Trump Make Amer­i­ca Great Again 2024” embla­zoned on the vehi­cle. 

“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked reporters. “This truck is in hon­or of Kamala and Joe Biden.”

The stunt is an appar­ent dig at Biden, who has come under fire for call­ing Trump sup­port­ers garbage. 

Dur­ing a vir­tu­al Har­ris cam­paign call with Voto Lati­no, Biden took a swipe at for­mer Trump’s week­end ral­ly in Madi­son Square Gar­den, which made head­lines after insult come­di­an Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mock­ing dif­fer­ent eth­nic groups, with one joke refer­ring to Puer­to Rico as a “float­ing island of garbage.”

“The only garbage I see float­ing out there is his sup­port­ers,” Biden said. “His demo­niza­tion of Lati­nos is uncon­scionable and it is un-Amer­i­can.”

The com­ment quick­ly went viral and sparked swift con­dem­na­tion from crit­ics.

Biden’s remarks were quick­ly com­pared to Hillary Clin­ton, who declared that Trump sup­port­ers were “deplorables” dur­ing the 2016 pres­i­den­tial race. 

Trump him­self react­ed to the “ter­ri­ble” com­ment from Biden while speak­ing at a ral­ly in Allen­town, Penn­syl­va­nia.

“Remem­ber Hillary? She said ‘deplorable’ and then said ‘irre­deemable,’ right? But she said ‘deplorable.’ That did­n’t work out. ‘Garbage’ I think is worse,” Trump said to his sup­port­ers at a ral­ly in Allen­town, Penn­syl­va­nia on Tues­day night. “But he does­n’t know- you have to please for­give him. Please for­give him. For he not knoweth what he said.”  

“And I’m con­vinced he likes me more than he likes Kamala,” Trump quipped.

On Wednes­day, White House press sec­re­tary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden does­n’t view Trump sup­port­ers as “garbage.”

“He has said mul­ti­ple times that he is a pres­i­dent for all. It does­n’t mat­ter if in a red state. It does­n’t mat­ter if you live in a blue state,” she said. 

Vivek Ramaswamy was also seen rid­ing on the back of a garbage truck in Char­lotte, North Car­oli­na, on Wednes­day. Ramaswamy, who threw his sup­port to Trfump after drop­ping out of the pres­i­den­tial race, wore a yel­low reflec­tive vest while greet­ing sup­port­ers.
