Donald Trump issued a garbage truck-sized middle finger to Joe Biden after the Democrat called described MAGA supporters as “garbage.”
The President’s comments came amid a row over a joke at Trump’s Maddison Square Garden rally on Sunday, Oct. 27, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as an “island of garbage”, prompting Democrats to quickly pounce and slam his remarks.
Republicans endured a tumultuous Monday as a result of the joke. Many kept quiet when questioned, with several in areas with Latino populations distancing themselves from the quip.
By Tuesday, though, things had changed. As Harris symbolically spoke outside the White House in her “final” pitch, attention of the nation was focused on what was going on inside the President’s residence, as footage emerged of Biden criticizing half of the nation.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters,” Biden told a Latino voters’ group.
Whether Hinchcliffe’s joke was wise in such a hotly contested election is open to debate. Nevertheless, the remarks of a comedian are undoubtedly less pertinent than those of the President, particularly when so much outrage was thrown around in the hours before.
Trump has also seized upon the opportunity, attending his Greenby, WI, rally in a garbage truck featuring American flags and a Trump logo.
“Joe Biden should be ashamed of himself, if he even knows what he’s doing,” Trump donning a garbage collector’s uniform which he would later deliver his entire rally in.
Trump’s response wowed social media users.
Others noted that Vivek Ramaswamy had also joined in with the fun.
