Donald Trump staged an election stunt with a garbage truck on Wednesday as the campaign trail took an unexpected turn due to muddled comments from President Joe Biden about the Republican’s supporters, causing a challenge for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Harris, who had planned to elaborate on her final week’s “closing argument” at a major rally in Washington the night before, was instead forced to clarify Biden’s remark, which seemed to imply Trump supporters were “garbage.” Seizing the opportunity, Trump—who himself has recently referred to political rivals as “garbage”—capitalized on the blunder by posing for photos in a garbage truck at a Wisconsin airport and taking questions from reporters.
The row started over the weekend when a warm-up speaker at a Trump rally called the US territory of Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage,” in remarks that initially put the Republican campaign on the defensive.
Yet Biden’s gaffe provided Trump the opportunity to play the victim.
“How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” Trump said from the cabin of the vehicle.
“You can’t be president if you hate the American people, which I believe they do,” Trump added later at his rally in Green Bay, still wearing his high-visibility jacket.
But as Republicans voiced outrage over Biden’s remarks, anti-Trump political group The Lincoln Project shared a video from the Republican’s September 7 rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin — verified by AFP — in which he called “the people that surround” the vice president “garbage.”
Trump had just attacked Harris over employment figures before he said: “And it’s not her, it’s the people that surround her. They’re scum. They’re scum, and they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.”
