Idiot Trump Hits Back at Biden’s “Garbage” Quote With Dumbest Stunt
In 2016, Donald Trump promised that he would drain the swamp. In 2024, he’s circling the drain himself.The MAGA leader’s campaign thought it could use a clever visual to respond to President Joe Biden’s verbal gaffe on Wednesday, in which the 81-year-old accidentally suggested that Trump supporters were “garbage.”But the political stunt was anything but clever. On Wednesday evening, Trump was spotted riding shotgun in a garbage truck bearing American flags and Trump campaign signage, as it drove in slow, loose circles on the tarmac in Green Bay, Wisconsin, seemingly owning the garbage symbolism rather than hitting back at it.He’s just out on the tarmac having someone drive him around in circles. Why do I feel like this will become the defining meme for his entire campaign? pic.twitter.com/WrESaWJ6cN— Hey, Dave!

YIKES. pic.twitter.com/uJpQyJpczn— Sharon Yang (@sharonjqyang) October 30, 2024Trump and his allies were, in fact, the ones who brought the topic of garbage up first. Last week, Trump claimed that America’s immigration policies had made it a “garbage can for the world.” Days later, a guest speaker at the Republican presidential nominee’s Madison Square Garden rally—comedian Tony Hinchcliffe—joked that Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage.”
