Trump Stands With Supporters, Joins Garbage Crew In Response To Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Remark

In a response to President Joe Biden’s recent comment that labeled his supporters as “garbage,” President Donald Trump joined a Wisconsin garbage crew, riding along in a show of solidarity. Trump’s ride-along was a message that he stands with the hardworking Americans who he feels have been unfairly insulted.

From the passenger seat of a garbage truck, Trump addressed the press with his characteristic humor, saying, “How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.” He also released a video from Air Force One wearing a safety vest, asserting, “250 million people are not garbage.”

The controversy arose from Biden’s remarks during a Zoom call on Tuesday night, where he responded to a comedian’s joke about Puerto Rico by stating, “The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters.” Biden’s words sparked immediate backlash, with some drawing comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment in 2016.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later clarified that Biden “was not speaking about Trump supporters as a whole,” attempting to manage the political fallout. However, Trump’s ride-along struck a chord with supporters who appreciated his defense of ordinary Americans.

The ride-along aligns with Trump’s focus on connecting with working-class Americans, who have been a core part of his base. By riding with a Wisconsin sanitation crew, Trump positioned himself as a defender of everyday Americans against perceived elitism from the Biden administration.
