Donald Trump’s recent ride in a garbage truck has gone viral, leaving supporters and critics intrigued. Dive into the story and see the videos of this unique outing.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made an appearance in a garbage truck during a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Wednesday. This move seemed to be a response to outgoing US President Joe Biden’s critical remarks about Trump’s supporters.
During a Zoom call with activists on Tuesday, Biden referred to Trump supporters as “garbage.” He later explained that his comment was directed at condemning a joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. The joke, which occurred during an earlier Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, involved comparing Puerto Rico to “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.”
Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party candidate, have labeled Hinchcliffe’s joke as “racist.” However, the comedian maintains that the remark was taken out of context.
Trump poked fun at Biden and Harris during his visit to the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin, while seated in a garbage truck adorned with American flags and campaign slogans.
“How do you like my garbage truck?” the former president inquired of reporters, leaning out from the passenger seat window. “This truck is dedicated to Kamala and Joe Biden.”

Later, in Green Bay, Trump delivered a speech wearing a vivid orange vest. “I must start by saying that 250 million Americans are not garbage,” he remarked to the audience, accusing Democrats of fostering hate towards his supporters.
“For nine years, Kamala and her party have labeled us as racists, bigots, fascists, deplorables, irredeemables—even Nazis—and likened me to Hitler,” he said amidst boos from the audience. “They’ve bullied you; they’ve demonized and censored us; they’ve deplatformed our voices and used the power of our own government against every one of us,” he continued.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a businessman and former presidential candidate known for his alliance with Trump, shared a video in which he is seen wearing a green vest while unloading bins from a garbage truck.
Harris has separated herself from Biden’s remarks. She stated to the BBC, “I firmly oppose any criticism of individuals based on their voting choices,” and assured that if she were elected, she would serve as “a president for all Americans, including those who do not vote for me.”
Both Republicans and Democrats have increasingly blamed each other for using hostile language during this highly contentious election cycle, as voters prepare to head to the polls on November 5. Trump has faced criticism for his blunt and coarse remarks about his opponents, most recently referring to them as an “enemy from within.”
