In a recent event, former President Donald Trump took a symbolic ride in a garbage truck in Wisconsin, a move that was seen as a direct response to President Biden's controversial comments about Trump supporters.
Trump, while seated in the passenger seat of the sanitation vehicle, addressed the media, saying, "How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
According to The Post Millennial, this public appearance by Trump came on the heels of a video he released from Air Force One. In the video, he donned a safety vest and declared, 250 million people are not garbage. This statement was a clear rebuttal to Biden's remarks, which have been widely criticized for their derogatory nature.
The controversy began when President Biden, during a Tuesday night Zoom call, reacted to a comedians joke comparing Puerto Rico to garbage at a Trump event. Biden responded by saying, The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters. His demonization of people is unconscionable and it's unAmerican." These comments sparked immediate backlash, with critics arguing that it was deeply inappropriate for Biden to label all supporters of a former president as garbage. Some critics drew parallels between Biden's comments and Hillary Clinton's infamous "basket of deplorables" gaffe during her 2016 presidential campaign.
In an attempt to control the damage, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was compelled to clarify Bidens comments, stating that he was not speaking about Trump supporters as a whole. However, the incident has already stirred up significant controversy, underscoring the deep political divide that continues to characterize American politics. This story is still developing, with updates expected as more information becomes available.
