Trump boards garbage truck to draw attention to Biden's remark

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Donald Trump walked down the steps of the Boeing 757 that bears his name, across a rain-soaked tarmac and, after missing the handle twice, climbed into the passenger seat of a truck white trash can which also bore his name.

The former president, once a reality TV star known for his showmanship, wanted to draw attention to a remark made a day earlier by his successor, Democratic President Joe Biden, who suggested that Trump supporters were garbage. Trump used the remark as a cudgel against his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

How do you like my garbage truck? said Trump, wearing an orange and yellow safety vest over his white shirt and red tie. This is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

Trump and other Republicans themselves faced retaliation over comments made by a comedian at a Trump rally over the weekend who denigrated Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage. Trump then took advantage of a comment Biden made on a call Wednesday night that the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.

The president later attempted to clarify the comment, saying he had intended to say that Trump's demonization of Latinos was unconscionable. But it was too late.

On Thursday, after arriving in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for an evening rally, Trump climbed into the garbage truck, continuing a brief discussion with reporters while looking out the window, as he had done earlier this month during a photo shoot he organized at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

He again tried to distance himself from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, whose joke had sparked the storm, but Trump did not denounce him. He also said he had no need to apologize to Puerto Ricans.

What you need to know about the 2024 elections

I don't know anything about the comedian, Trump said. I don't know who he is. I've never seen him. I heard he made a statement, but it was a statement he made. He's an actor, what can I tell you. I don't know anything about him.

A Trump spokesperson said the joke did not reflect his views, but the former president has not spoken about it himself.

I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me, Trump said from the garbage truck.

He ended his brief appearance by telling reporters: I hope you enjoyed this garbage truck. Thank you so much.

When he took the stage shortly after, he was still wearing the orange vest.
