Trump stages garbage truck event, in response to Biden’s comment
ISTANBUL (AA) – Donald Trump staged a visual response to President Joe Biden’s recent “garbage” comments, climbing into a garbage truck branded with his campaign logo on Thursday.
During a visit to Wisconsin, a key swing state, with the presidential election just days away, Trump wore an orange vest meant to look like a sanitation worker’s uniform.
In a garbage truck, taking questions from the press, Trump said the “truck is in honor of” Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is also vice president.
Trump’s event followed Biden’s comments from a campaign call where Biden used the word “garbage.” Trump and his allies said the word was used to slur his supporters, while Biden said he was criticizing a racist joke from Sunday’s Trump rally in which a comedian called the US island of Puerto Rico – largely populated by Latinos – a “floating island of garbage.”
Trump declared at the truck event: “250 million Americans are not garbage.”
The former president accused Biden of failing to respect Americans, saying: “You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans.”
US Election Day – both presidential and congressional – is set for next Tuesday, Nov. 5.
