Trump Speaks to Press From Trash Hauler Amid Fallout From Biden ‘Garbage’ Comment

https://x.com/search?q=garbage&src=typed_query

Former President Donald Trump arrived at his Wisconsin rally on Wednesday wearing a hi-viz vest after riding in a garbage truck to a press conference, an apparent reference to President Joe Biden’s previous controversial comments that were interpreted by many to refer to the Republican presidential candidate’s supporters.

The truck was emblazoned with Trump campaign messaging and American flags.

“How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” Trump said to reporters

He then took to the stage wearing a hi-viz vest.

“I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage,” Trump said, opening his speech.

Trump appears to be capitalizing on comments made by Biden during a campaign call, in which he responded to a joke about Puerto Rico made by roast comedian Tony Hinchcliffe earlier in the week. Hinchcliffe was speaking at a campaign rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” Biden said, according to video footage of his remarks. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” The White House later released a transcript of the comments to show an apostrophe in the word supporters: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s.”

The president later clarified that his comments were referring to the comedian and not Trump supporters more widely.

The Trump campaign highlighted Biden’s remarks on social media and called on the Harris campaign to denounce the remarks.

Vice President Kamala Harris sought to distance herself from Biden’s remarks on Oct. 30.

“Listen, I think, first of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,“ Harris told reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. ”You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people whether they support me or not.”

She said that as president, she would represent all Americans, including those who didn’t vote for her.

At a rally on Oct. 30 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Trump linked Biden’s comments to Harris.

“And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage,” Trump said. “And they mean it. ... My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple: You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans. ... And you can’t be president if you hate the American people.”
The White House had sought to further clarify Biden’s remark, with a spokesman writing on social media that the president was saying that “hateful rhetoric” at the Trump rally was “garbage.”
Biden wrote later that evening, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it.”

Biden back to the basement in Delaware, and Harris back to her Willie Brown in California are idiot puppets installed by the Democrat elites, who use the federal government as their private asset.

They are removed, as needed, to stay in power.

They go off-script, without a teleprompter, cannot keep pace during a press conference, do not understand the world’s issues.

Neither can form a proper sentence, about any subject, because they have proven for many years they cannot thing straight

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
