Trump Joins Sanitation Workers In Wisconsin To Push Back On Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment

After President Joe Biden referred to Trump supporters as “garbage,” President Donald Trump took a ride with a sanitation crew in Wisconsin, making a symbolic show of solidarity with working Americans. Trump’s ride-along comes as a pointed response to Biden’s controversial comment, defending the people he says Biden has dismissed.

From the passenger seat of a Wisconsin garbage truck, Trump addressed the press, joking, “How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.” The former president then shared a video from Air Force One, where he wore a safety vest and addressed Americans directly, stating, “250 million people are not garbage.”

The remarks from Biden originated during a Zoom call Tuesday night, where he was responding to a comedian’s joke. Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters.” The backlash was swift, with critics accusing Biden of using divisive rhetoric and evoking memories of Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment.

The White House quickly attempted to clarify, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stating that Biden “was not speaking about Trump supporters as a whole.” But Trump seized the moment, using his ride-along to show he stands with Americans who feel overlooked by the current administration.

Trump’s gesture resonated with his supporters, who appreciated his willingness to push back against what they view as dismissive comments from Biden. By joining a garbage crew, Trump positioned himself as a defender of everyday Americans, a theme that has long been central to his appeal.
