Donald Trump trolled President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris by riding a MAGA garbage truck to his rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday night in response to President Joe Biden’s gaffe.
‘How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,’ he told reporters in Green Bay with just six days until what could be one of the closest elections in history.
‘For Joe Biden to make that statement — it’s really a disgrace,’ he added.
The former president pulled off the stunt less than 24 hours after Biden referred to his supporters as ‘garbage.’
Wisconsin notably is one of the seven battleground that could ultimately decide the election and polls show the state is essentially a coin-flip.

‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,’ Biden was initially quoted as saying.
The White House later clarified his words with an apostrophe in the transcript, and claimed the president was only talking about comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’

The retired Green Bay Packer quarterback told the crowd: ‘Just like the Packers organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner and the United States of America won with his leadership
‘I can assure you we’re not garbage. How dare you say that. Looking out I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans that make this country great.’
Trump then took the rally stage still wearing the orange vest as the crowd roared.
‘I have to begin by saying, 250 million Americans are not garbage,’ he opened by saying.
‘Kamala and Joe call all of us garbage. I call you the heart and soul of America. You built our country,’ Trump said to massive applause.
He recounted the offer he got to drive the garbage truck just minutes before landing in Wisconsin.
The former president only had a 30 minute heads up on the garbage truck stunt
Trump noted how high the steps were into the garbage truck and his adrenaline was going as he approached the vehicle
‘Sir would you like to drive a garbage truck?’ one of his staffers petitioned.
He said he though it sounded ‘kind of cool’ and was up for it before he was told, ‘Sir we have a vest.’
Then came the next challenge: Climbing the dauntingly high steps up into the garbage truck.
‘How the hell do you get into the truck,’ Trump joked, noting how ‘it was way up high.’
He admitted thinking, ‘If I don’t get up there this is going to be very embarrassing.’
The former president revealed that with all the cameras rolling he really ‘had the adrenaline going.’

A Trump aide told the former president he looked skinnier in the vest so he decided to wear it on stage
But after the event he panicked: ‘Where is my jacket?’
His concerns were quickly alleviated, he said.
‘It actually makes you look thinner,’ Trump said while smiling, mentioning that he appreciated the flattery.
‘They got me and I said now I want to wear it on stage,’ he told the cracking up crowd.
‘I may never wear a blue jacket again,’ he continued on, stoking the crowds laughs.
