The former US president and Republican candidate for the White House, donald trump, He arrived this Wednesday in a garbage truck to a rally and he appeared there wearing a reflective vest in a new attempt to gain political benefit from the president’s, Joe Biden, criticism of his followers.
“Do you like my garbage truck? It is in honor of Kamala (Harris) and Joe Biden” he said in Wisconsin from the passenger seat of the vehicle, which had been decorated with his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
The controversy broke out this Tuesday when Biden defended Puerto Rico after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called it a “floating island of trash” during a big Trump rally over the weekend at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
“Let me tell you something. (…) “The only trash I see floating around is his followers,” Biden said.some words about which so much White House As the president himself tried to clarify later that they were directed at the comedian and not at Trump’s supporters, but he received immediate criticism from the Republican side.
Trump’s first words at his rally in Green Bay were also a direct response to that comment: “250 million people are not trash”he said from the stage, where he arrived without his suit jacket but with the reflective vest usually worn by those who collect debris.
Despite Biden’s clarification since Harris has distanced himself from that commentthe New York magnate reiterated that the president “has finally said what he and Kamala really think” about their supporters.
“You can’t be president if you hate Americans, which I think they do. And Kamala Harris is not qualified to be president, at all. He does not have the intellect, energy or that special quality of true leaders“he stressed.
Trump said that the idea of arriving in a garbage truck and wearing a vest came from a member of his team.
“One of my guys said to me, ‘Sir, garbage is the word right now.’ Would you like to drive a garbage truck? And they got one. I don’t know how the hell they did it so fast,” he said.
The Democratic candidate added that He agreed to wear the vest because he was told it made him look thinner.: “I may never wear a jacket again,” he joked, underlining that they had “a little fun with a very serious topic.”
“No job is too dirty for real Americans,” he insisted in a campaign email.
