Trump deploys garbage truck to trash Biden gaffe at Wisconsin rally


Republican presidential candidate in high-vis vest says ‘250 million Americans are not garbage’ as he capitalises on latest twist in Puerto Rico debate

Dressing like a sanitation worker and, at one point, appearing in the cab of a garbage truck, Donald Trump sought to convince voters in battleground state Wisconsin on Wednesday that Democrats believe those who vote for him are “garbage”.

The theatrics came in response to an apparent verbal gaffe made by Joe Biden the night before, which the president said was intended to condemn a comedian over his racist remarks at a massive rally Trump staged at New York City’s Madison Square Garden over the weekend.


But Trump and his allies have seized on Biden’s words to argue Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is insincere in her pledge to be a president for all Americans, even those who do not vote for her. In a visit to the city of Green Bay, which sits in a Republican-leaning region of a swing state that polls show is anyone’s to win, Trump hammered the point home by eschewing his normal suit jacket and donning a reflective orange vest for a speech to an arena packed with his red-hatted supporters.

“I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage,” Trump said at the start of his nearly 90-minute speech. He did not specify how he arrived at the 250 million number, but it appears to be the approximate entire population of the United States minus those who voted for Biden in 2020.

“This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history, and now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage. No way!”

Biden’s gaffe, one of many he has made in his nearly four years in office, threatens to complicate Harris’s campaign, after her effort to win over Latino voters was reinvigorated by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comment at Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally that the US territory of Puerto Rico is “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean”.


Puerto Rican stars Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin have since announced their support for Harris, and on Wednesday, reggaeton singer Nicky Jam, who also has ties to the island, cited the remarks in withdrawing his endorsement of Trump.

Biden nonetheless appeared to gift the GOP a new line of attack, when he said on a Tuesday evening Zoom call with a Latino voters organization: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American”. The president later clarified that he meant to criticize “the hateful rhetoric” against Latinos seen at Madison Square Garden, but the Trump campaign insisted Biden was denigrating to people who voted for the former president.

Harris played defense earlier on Wednesday, telling reporters: “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they voted for.” The vice-president has lately prioritized reaching out to moderate Republicans and independents, and campaigned alongside Republicans who have broken with Trump.

But at the Green Bay rally, Trump’s second appearance of the day after a stop in North Carolina, Biden’s words were all anyone wanted to talk about.

“I can assure you, we’re not garbage. How dare you say that,” said Brett Favre, the former quarterback for the Green Bay Packers NFL team who drew huge applause when he appeared at the rally.


“Looking out, I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans that make this country great.”

Wisconsin’s Republican senator Ron Johnson, who has survived repeated efforts by Democrats to unseat him and boost their numbers in Congress’s upper chamber, said: “He called you garbage, but, let’s face it, that’s not the first time the Democratic leaders have told half of Americans what they thought about them.” He likened it to Hillary Clinton’s quip shortly before her defeat in the 2016 election that half of Trump’s supporters belonged in a “basket of deplorables”.

While he had condemned Biden over the garbage comment at a rally in North Carolina earlier in the day, Trump opted for something of a political stunt in Green Bay, stepping off his private plane wearing the orange vest and jumping into the cab of a waiting garbage truck that had the words “Trump” written in blue lettering on its side.

In the arena later that evening, the 78-year-old recounted that he worried about being able to make it up the steep steps into the truck, and that, if he fell, it would be captured by “all the fake news” that was waiting on the tarmac. “The first stair’s like, up here, and I’m saying, shit”, he told the crowd.

“So I had the adrenaline going, and I made it.”


But as he took questions while sitting in the truck’s cab, he refused to apologize for Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico, instead repeating his assertion that he did not know who the comedian was or how he got booked for Madison Square Garden.

“I don’t know anything about the comedian. I don’t know who he is. I’ve never seen him,” Trump said. “He’s a comedian, what can I tell you? I know nothing about him. I don’t know why he’s there.”

You analysed and said more than this in 2020, yet Biden's Democratic Party won. Come Tuesday's night, Kamala Harris DP will be jubilating across America having retained their White House seat.

The diamond in the British Royal crown was not taken from Nigeria, but from Southern Africa.

So, don't covet what does not belong to you. And try to get facts before commenting on a public forum.

My brother do not argue with stupid people, from the abundance of their stupidity they type rubish, always remember this excerpt
“Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed — in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical — and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.” BONHOEFFER’S LAW

This BONHOEFFER’S LAW certainly fits majority of people commenting on Nairaland. It should be hoisted as a Nairaland meme to deter stupid comments from gaining more ground on it.

MadPolitician:
He should be helping the rich traders in Anambra to migrate from trading to manufacturing, which should be very easy for him, taking his enormous experience in the finance sector into consideration.

Industrialising Anambra is very easy if you uave a very active governor that can help the rich businessmen there to do so.

But he is much more interested in building a socalled fun city. Investors in the entertainment industry should be doing this, and not a state government.

Because investors in entertainment industry are not interested, so it should be left undone?

Doing it by Soludo will bring additional revenue to the state coffers. Those visiting the place will pay money to access the fun equipment. Therefore it is a huge money making venture if adequately monitored.

But reacting in a statement to Naija News, the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro (SAN), said Sanwo-Olu, at no time, sued or briefed any legal practitioner to file a suit on his behalf concerning the above subject matter.

According to him, the Lagos State Government is currently investigating how the case came to be without the government’s knowledge.

Pedro wrote: “Our attention has been drawn to the news circulating in a section of the media, titled: “Sanwo-Olu Sues EFCC over alleged plan to arrest, prosecute him after tenure.”

“We need to clarify that Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at no time, sued or briefed any legal practitioner to file a suit on his behalf concerning the above subject matter.

“Also, it is disingenuous for the Governor who enjoys immunity as conferred on him by the Constitution and has almost three years ahead of him to brief any lawyer on this kind of matter.

“To the best of my knowledge and my inquiry confirmed that the EFCC is not investigating the Governor and has never invited him or threatened arrest of any member of his staff, domestic or otherwise.

“We are currently investigating how the case came to be without our knowledge.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been an exemplar in terms of service delivery, prudent and judicious management of the public resources.

“Therefore, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu who is busy working assiduously on how to improve the living conditions of all Lagosians does not have anything to fear when he eventually leaves office at the end of his tenure in May 2027.

“We, therefore, enjoin media organisations to be wary of the kind of reports they entertain and publish on their respected platforms in order not to mislead the public.”

Stop this joke. Wike didn't execute any project with his father's money. His only job is to sign the damn contract and ensure that it is done. Any idiot can do that.

If any "idiot" can do that, why have the other "idiots" before Wike not been initiating and constructing those grand projects, but were only interested in swallowing the FCT huge funds?

NSK4U:
In all of that, no average Yoruba man fares better, it's all about the inner political circle.

The impact of the their appointments is not felt within the south west region as hardship there is still second to none elsewhere

The recent Ijebu Ode Steeze show, did it depict that the Yoruba people are suffering than your people at Umuahia?

I have been to Ogun.. Ogun is nothing compared to IMO in any aspect

Ogun has more industries but in terms of infrastructure lmao please don't be ridiculous

All the towns in Ogun because they don't have a city for me combined can't be compared owerri

Abk is nothing
Ijabode is a village
Otta is shanties with industry that are owned by outsiders

"All the towns in Ogun because they don't have a city for me combined can't be compared owerri

Abk is nothing
Ijabode is a village
Otta is shanties with industry that are owned by outsiders"

Considering your quote above, saying Ogun State has no city of any consideration, and that all their significant properties are owned by outsiders, has completely rubbished your intellectual impact.

Sorry for wasting my time with you. Goodbye.

covidkiller:
There's no growth there.

Four years ago, $1 = N470
Therefore, N70 billion = $149 million

Today, $1 = N1,600
Therefore, N147.8 billion = $92 million


So, the state actually DECLINED from $149 million to $92 million in 4 years, recording a mega loss of $57 million.

Don't allow them deceive you. The state didn't do well.

The same argument holds for the 5 East states which Ogun State's IGR dusted. That means the 5 Eastern states are not doing well too based on your analysis of the Naira/Dollar deterioration.

mrvitalis:
Firstly I said almost half IMO GDP


IMO don't have any gas industry... The two were just completed this year and haven't started production

IMO has gas reserves yes, but gas industry not yet but soon... IMO GDP comes from its hospitality industry mostly

Once the gas industry comes up IMO GDP would grow by another 50% minimum

IGR and uses.. - even with the increased IGR please what development index is Ogun doing better than IMO... Please tells us

Travel through Ogun State and trace their structural development for the past 10 years and you will see what their increased IGR has provided for them, greater than what has been achieved in Imo State within that period.

[quote author=mrvitalis post=132642914][/quote]So how does Imo's N8.45Tn GDP translates to twice of Ogun's N5.61Tn? Imo is only 34% above Ogun, though we all know this is because of Imo's extensive gas deposit industry.

However Ogun's greater IGR provides usable funds to their government than Imo higher GDP will ever do, since Imo gas deposit belongs to the federation and not only to the Imo people.

mrvitalis:
IMO GDP is almost twice Ogun

GDP and GDP per capita is what is used to judge an economy, there is no where in the world IGR is used to judge economy... That's that

If Ogun with half IMO GDP decides to over tax it's people to make 10x IMO IGR thats their business

But the question should be with the improved IGR is there any developmental metrics Ogun is better than the likes of IMO and Anambra with far far lower IGR?

Access to education? Access to health?
Infant mortality? Literacy rate?
Good roads?

So I think the citizens of Ogun should be massively protesting this rip off not celebrating it

Anyone can claim anything on the social media, even though it is a blatant lie. So bring out the evidence that Imo GDP is twice the size of Ogun (with all the industries doting its region), then we will believe you.

US presidential contestants are starting to copy Nigerian politicians. Evil companions corrupt good manners.

I have met irate customers on many occasions and with a very simple technique turned them into very very loyal customers that never ever fail to send me Xmas bouquet .

When you get your business to the billion naira turnover, you will know that customer is king.

Let the same scenario happen to a customer care staff or marketers of a tier 1 bank and see different approach to solving problems.

Fortunately for him, he is not a "customer care staff or marketers of tier nonsense banks" so he does not need to lick the feet of your hero before serving him as you implied. And thank God, your hero has profusely tendered his unreserved public apology to the person he offended, which I know your pride will not allow you to do if it was you.

richiemcgold:
Ondo people are too loyal to APC, yet there's nothing to show for it in terms of economic and infrastructural developments.

Ondo State people are not loyal to any party. Every different hues of party have ruled the state, from AD to PDP to LP and now to APC. When we see any person we trust, we vote for them. But the present crop of politicians in all the parties in the state are birds of the same feather, and untrustworthy. So there is no good choice among them all.

Aiyedatiwa is bad, with no convincing developmental vision for the state, except to be using the state money, distributing it to all politicians to secure his victory. Agboola of PDP has a bad image as a careless person arising from his erratic behaviours when he was Akeredolu's Dep. Guv. As for the rest of the contestants, they are mostly unpopular.

Mrs Kemi Badenoch said she wouldn't want Britain to be like Nigeria she ran away from? CORRECT. TRUTH


Mrs Kemi Badenoch said living in Nigeria, she had tales of horror, with screams of neighbors every night being attacked, leading to fears whether their apartment could be the next. CORRECT. TRUTH.

So what's Femi Fani Kayode's grouse against Mrs Badenoch? It's either Kayode is seeking attention or he wants the truth about Nigeria remain buried in Nigeria.

Do you hear screams of your neighbours being attacked every night in your street? If not, then you should know that Badenoch is lying through her teeth, and has no right maligning us Nigerians.

This FFK must certainly be high on something everytime with his uncultured mouth.

Nobody is enjoying. The rich can't eat as they used to especially the fast food and order in crew. Food that used to be 4k is now 13k.

Na true o. I wanted to buy chicken and chips from Chicken Republic two months ago and was told it was 7k, and I ran. The same size I used to buy N1,800 at most before.

I watched the match, and the US team were technically better than the Nigerian team, so they deserve the victory.
